A compact, heavy sans with straightforward geometry and clean, closed counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even color on the line. Curves are round and controlled (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p), while joins and terminals stay simple and unembellished. Proportions are relatively tight with short extenders and a pragmatic rhythm that keeps forms clear at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a strong, compact sans is needed. It can also work for branding and short UI labels when you want clear, emphatic text with a stable, consistent texture.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a confident, functional voice. Its dense weight and compact proportions give it a strong, assertive presence without feeling decorative or playful.
Likely designed to provide a robust, space-efficient sans for high-impact settings, balancing simple geometric construction with clear interior shapes for legibility.
Round letters remain fairly open for the weight, and spacing appears measured to maintain readability in continuous text. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy construction, supporting a consistent, workmanlike texture across mixed copy.
