A compact, condensed sans with blocky, squared-round construction and minimal stroke modulation. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel, while terminals are predominantly flat and clean. Proportions emphasize height and economy of width, with tight interior counters and a consistent, sturdy rhythm that holds together well in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display typography where a dense, impactful voice is desired. It also fits signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from compact width and robust, high-ink shapes, especially in space-constrained layouts.
The overall tone is firm and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and industrial. Its heavy, compact silhouettes project authority and practicality rather than softness or elegance, making text feel direct and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing geometric, rounded-rectilinear forms with a strong, consistent weight for clear, forceful messaging.
Round characters retain a slightly squared geometry, and the compressed spacing and narrow apertures create a dark, solid texture on the page. The lowercase maintains a strong presence alongside the uppercase, and the numerals match the same compact, engineered aesthetic for cohesive UI-like labeling.
