A condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly packed proportions. Curved letters are built from squarish, superelliptic bowls with visibly rounded corners rather than true circles, giving counters a compact, rectangular feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is vertical and economical. Lowercase forms are straightforward and compact, with single-storey shapes where expected and minimal modulation; numerals follow the same sturdy, condensed construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is needed and space is tight. It can also work for logos and short brand statements, but extended passages may feel dense due to its condensed build and dark overall color.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, combining a modern geometric cleanliness with a slightly industrial toughness. Its squared-off curves and dense texture read as confident and no-nonsense, making it feel engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern appearance. The superelliptic rounding suggests an intention to soften an otherwise industrial, compact structure without sacrificing bold legibility.
The condensed width and heavy weight create a dark typographic color, especially in longer text, while the rounded-corner construction keeps the shapes from feeling harsh. The sample text shows strong presence at display sizes, with consistent alignment and a uniform, blocky silhouette across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
