A condensed sans with sturdy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared, softened corners and superelliptical bowls, producing compact counters and a firm, vertical stance. The capitals are tall and tightly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton with minimal modulation and simple terminals. Figures follow the same narrow, heavy rhythm, with broad, flat-sided forms and neatly rounded joins that keep texture consistent across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where space is limited—headlines, posters, signage, labels, and packaging callouts. The condensed width and heavy color also make it effective for navigation-style graphics, industrial branding, and bold editorial subheads where a compact, uniform texture is desired.
The tone is pragmatic and assertive, with a disciplined, engineered feel. Its narrow, blocky forms suggest efficiency and clarity, leaning toward an industrial and slightly retro-institutional voice rather than a friendly or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, commanding sans for display use, combining tight proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive but controlled voice. Its emphasis on uniform stroke weight and simplified shapes suggests a focus on consistency, economy of space, and strong silhouette recognition.
Round letters like O/C/G read as squarish ovals with softened corners, giving the face a distinctive superelliptical character. Diacritics and punctuation shown in the sample appear plain and functional, matching the condensed, high-impact color of the text.
