A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact, vertical proportions. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep counters narrow and corners softly squared rather than fully round. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, creating a steady rhythm and strong columnar texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed geometry, producing a dense, signage-like silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where space is limited but strong impact is needed. It also works well for signage-style applications and short editorial callouts, where its condensed, slanted texture can create emphasis and momentum.
The overall tone is forceful and contemporary, with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed, slanted stance adds urgency and motion, giving headlines a confident, urban energy without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a compact footprint with sturdy, rounded-rectilinear forms. The consistent slant suggests a focus on speed and emphasis for display typography rather than long-form reading.
Round letters like O/C/G read as vertically emphasized superellipses, while joins and interior counters stay tight, increasing darkness and impact at display sizes. The italic construction appears as an oblique slant applied consistently across shapes, preserving the rigid, engineered feel.
