A compact sans with sturdy, monoline construction and mostly squared terminals. Proportions are tight and efficient, with a relatively narrow set width and a steady vertical stress that keeps the texture even in blocks of text. Curves are clean and near-geometric (notably in C/O/Q), while joins and corners are crisp, giving the forms a slightly engineered feel. Counters are moderately open for the width, and the overall rhythm reads dense but controlled, with consistent stroke behavior across letters and figures.
Well-suited to space-conscious headlines and subheads where a strong, compact line is helpful. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from a clean, engineered sans presence, and for poster or display settings where dense, high-impact text is desired.
The typeface conveys a modern, no-nonsense tone—confident and functional rather than expressive. Its compact stance and clean geometry suggest an industrial, utilitarian voice that feels contemporary and straightforward.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice in a condensed footprint, prioritizing even texture and punchy readability at larger sizes while maintaining a controlled, systematic geometry.
Round letters stay smooth and fairly circular, contrasted by flat cuts and straight-sided verticals that emphasize a constructed look. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and compactness, supporting a uniform typographic color in mixed text.
