A compact, tall sans with blocky construction and subtly rounded corners that soften the otherwise rigid silhouette. Strokes are monolinear and heavy, producing dense color and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively small and openings stay tight, while round letters (like O and C) read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall spacing feels economical and compressed, reinforcing a stacked, high-density rhythm in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where space is limited but presence is needed. It also works well for signage, packaging, and branding marks that benefit from a compact footprint and a strong, uniform typographic color.
The font projects a utilitarian, authoritative tone—confident and somewhat industrial, with a poster-forward immediacy. Its narrow, heavy forms feel assertive and functional, suggesting signage, labels, or headline typography where impact matters more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure, using heavy monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry to stay legible while remaining visually forceful. It balances strict, engineered proportions with softened corners to avoid harshness and to maintain a contemporary, display-ready finish.
In running text, the strong verticals and tight apertures create a dark, compact texture; it holds together best with generous tracking or at larger sizes. Numerals and uppercase share the same condensed, block-leaning logic, helping mixed settings feel consistent and disciplined.
