A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact spacing. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with a squared, superelliptical construction that rounds corners subtly rather than forming true circles. Counters are small and vertical, terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is strongly columnar, giving lines of text a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase is prominent with a tall x-height, and the numerals share the same narrow, upright stance for consistent color in text and display settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding that need high impact in limited horizontal space. It also works well for signage-style applications and editorial titling where a dense, vertical texture and strong presence are desirable.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, evoking industrial signage and modern editorial compression. Its narrow stance and solid forms feel emphatic and efficient, suited to messaging that needs to look strong, organized, and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis and legibility in narrow widths through a compact, constructed geometry and sturdy, simplified shapes. Its superelliptical rounding softens the rigidity just enough to keep it contemporary rather than purely mechanical.
Round letters (like O/C) read more like rounded rectangles, and joins stay crisp, reinforcing a constructed, engineered feel. The condensed proportions amplify verticality, making the type look tall and compressed while maintaining clear silhouettes.
