A tall, tightly condensed sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Strokes are sturdy and mostly uniform, with subtle modulation most noticeable in curved joins and terminals. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, giving letters a stacked, architectural feel, while curves stay controlled and slightly squared rather than fully circular. Terminals are clean and minimally treated, and the overall spacing reads efficient and compact, optimized for narrow measure and strong silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where space is limited but impact is needed. It also fits signage and editorial display settings that benefit from a compact, high-contrast silhouette at larger sizes. For longer text, it works most reliably as a short-display companion with careful spacing.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a confident, sign-like presence. Its narrow, tall rhythm evokes vintage poster and display typography while maintaining a clean, contemporary strictness. Overall it feels bold, direct, and slightly industrial rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint by combining tall proportions with rounded-rectangular forms and clean, simplified terminals. The consistent, controlled geometry suggests a focus on strong legibility at display sizes and a cohesive, modernized retro voice for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental due to the combination of height and compressed width, and the numerals mirror that same condensed, sturdy geometry for consistent headline color. In longer lines, the tight proportions create a strong vertical cadence, so comfortable readability benefits from generous tracking and line spacing.
