A compact, heavyweight sans with tightly drawn proportions and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a squared-off roundness rather than circular bowls, while terminals stay clean and blunt. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and apertures tend to be restrained, creating dense, high-impact silhouettes. The rhythm is vertical and even, with straightforward joins and minimal modulation across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display where its compact weight can deliver maximum impact in limited space. It works well for branding and packaging that needs a sturdy, contemporary sans, and it can also fit athletic, industrial, or signage contexts where bold, condensed clarity is prioritized over airy text color.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary and industrial. Its condensed massing and squared rounding give it a punchy, poster-like presence while still feeling controlled and systematic.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, high-impact sans with rounded-rectangle forms—balancing hard-edged structure with softened corners for a modern, approachable toughness.
The numeral set matches the compact, blocky construction, maintaining consistent density across figures. In text, the strong verticals and tight internal spaces create a dark typographic color that benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes.
