A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are mostly blunt and cut cleanly, with tight apertures and dense interior counters that keep the texture dark and continuous. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with minimal ornament, while lowercase maintains a tall, efficient structure; figures are similarly compact, with a rounded, utilitarian feel.
This face performs best where space is limited but presence is required—condensed headlines, poster typography, packaging panels, and labeling systems. Its dense color and firm geometry also suit short display lines and wayfinding-style signage, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its compact width and sturdy shapes read as efficient and no-nonsense, suited to messages that need to feel direct and impactful rather than delicate or lyrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a minimal width, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms consistent and contemporary. The emphasis is on compact readability and a strong, uniform texture for display settings.
Round letters (like O/C/G/Q) show squarish rounding and consistent curvature, reinforcing a superelliptical construction. Diacritics and punctuation in the sample text appear straightforward and sturdy, matching the font’s tight, compact color.
