A highly condensed, tall sans with monoline strokes and a rounded-rectangle construction that keeps curves tight and corners softly radiused. The overall texture is dark and uniform, with mostly straight vertical stems and compact bowls that read as superelliptical shapes rather than true circles. Apertures are generally small, terminals are clean and squared-off, and counters stay narrow, creating a dense, poster-forward rhythm. Numerals and capitals match the same narrow, vertical emphasis, yielding a consistent, sign-like silhouette across the set.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and packaging where condensed width helps fit long titles while maintaining strong presence. It also works well for signage-style applications and branding that benefits from a tall, forceful wordmark. For longer text blocks, it will be most comfortable when used sparingly or at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a firm, industrial tone with a retro display sensibility—confident, compressed, and built for impact. Its tall, tightly packed forms feel utilitarian and architectural, giving headlines a commanding, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton to keep forms cohesive and strongly branded. It prioritizes a consistent, dark texture and a striking vertical profile for display typography.
The extreme verticality and tight internal spacing create a strong columnar rhythm in words, which can feel energetic and urgent at larger sizes. Because many letters rely on similar narrow structures, the design reads most clearly when given ample size and tracking.
