A compact sans with sturdy, uniform stroke weight and a mostly geometric construction. Curves are smooth and round, while joins and terminals tend to be clean and straightforward, producing a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Proportions feel tight horizontally with stable verticals and consistent spacing; counters are open enough to keep the forms clear despite the dense overall color. The lowercase shows a simple, single-storey “g” and a straightforward “a,” and the numerals share the same firm, even rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a compact footprint and strong presence are desired, such as posters, branding wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for UI labels and navigation where space is constrained and a firm, contemporary tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and confidence. Its condensed presence and solid weight give it an efficient, slightly industrial voice that reads as contemporary and pragmatic rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a strong, even texture and contemporary geometry. It prioritizes clarity and impact through compact proportions, clean terminals, and consistent stroke weight.
At larger sizes the letterforms look clean and controlled, with smooth bowls and minimal modulation. The dense typographic color makes it feel assertive in headlines, while the relatively open counters help preserve legibility in mixed-case settings.
