A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving letters a compact, pillar-like rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt with softly rounded corners; curves in C/O/G and bowls in B/P/R keep a rectangular tension rather than a true circle. Joins are clean and geometric, with a generally monolinear feel and only subtle optical modulation in curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding lockups where vertical space is limited but strong presence is needed. It can also work on packaging and labels where dense, condensed letterforms help fit long names without losing visual weight.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a structured, industrial confidence. Its compressed proportions and dense black shapes create a poster-like urgency that reads as retro signage and display typography rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space through extreme condensation, while keeping forms approachable via rounded corners and superelliptical geometry. It prioritizes bold silhouette and consistent rhythm for display use, evoking modern-industrial and retro sign aesthetics.
The lowercase follows the same condensed architecture, with single-storey a and g and tight apertures that emphasize verticality. Numerals are similarly tall and compact, maintaining consistent weight and corner rounding for a cohesive set.
