A compact, tall sans with a tightly condensed set width and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a generally monoline rhythm. The uppercase is rigid and columnar, while the lowercase stays narrow with simple forms and tight apertures; numerals follow the same condensed, upright construction for a unified texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and impactful titling where vertical compression and strong presence are desirable. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a condensed, space-efficient footprint and a crisp, modern texture.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a strong vertical drive that reads as modern and industrial. Its compressed proportions and blunt geometry create a no-nonsense, headline-forward voice that feels confident and slightly retro in a display way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical rounds and blunt terminals to keep shapes clean, consistent, and easy to reproduce across bold display contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing a dense typographic color that amplifies impact at large sizes. The rounded-rectangular bowls help maintain legibility despite the narrow width, keeping internal counters open enough for display reading.
