A compact, tall sans with a strongly condensed footprint and sturdy, uniform strokes. Curves are largely built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel, while terminals are clean and abrupt. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with tight interior spaces and a consistent, engineered rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, event titles, labels, and bold brand marks where verticality and density help maximize presence. It can also work for signage and packaging systems that benefit from compact width and a strong, uniform typographic color.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, headlines, and signage. Its squared-round construction reads as modern and practical with a faint vintage display flavor, projecting clarity and authority rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using squared, rounded forms to keep the shapes crisp, consistent, and easily recognizable at a glance. Its construction prioritizes a tough, functional voice suited to display-led typography.
The uppercase set feels especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same compressed, block-like logic for a cohesive voice. Numerals match the narrow, upright stance and maintain strong presence at display sizes.
