A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a noticeably compressed footprint. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with corners and terminals softened into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes rather than sharp angles. Counters are small and squarish, and curves resolve into flattened bowls that keep the overall rhythm rectilinear. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction, with single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and short, squared shoulders; the numerals match in weight and use rounded corners to maintain a consistent silhouette.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but impact is required, such as headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for logo wordmarks and bold titling where a compact, engineered look is desirable.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like clarity. Its narrow, compact forms feel efficient and space-conscious, giving headlines a compressed intensity while staying clean and contemporary.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum presence in a minimal horizontal width, using rounded-rect geometry to stay friendly enough for contemporary branding while maintaining a tough, utilitarian voice.
The design relies on consistent rounding and straight-sided geometry, producing a strong vertical cadence in text. Wider letters like M and W remain tightly contained, reinforcing a uniform, condensed texture across words and lines.
