A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and chunky, low-contrast strokes. Curves are constructed from rounded-rectangle/superellipse logic, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true geometric circles. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with occasional angled joins in diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) to keep the rhythm crisp in a narrow measure. The lowercase is large relative to capitals, with simple, sturdy forms (single-storey a, straightforward g) and small, clean punctuation; figures are heavy and condensed, matching the overall dense texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where a dense, high-impact texture is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from compact width and sturdy letterforms. For longer reading, it will be strongest when given generous size and spacing to prevent counters from feeling tight.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, with a poster-ready punch that reads as industrial and contemporary. Its squared softness keeps it from feeling harsh, while the narrow stance adds urgency and economy. Overall it conveys a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed rhythm with squared, rounded-rectangle geometry for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes bold presence and consistency across letters and figures, aiming at display and branding applications that need clarity and force.
The narrow width and compact counters create a dark, uniform color that holds together in large blocks of text, especially in all-caps. Distinctive, squared-round curves make the face feel engineered rather than calligraphic, with consistent stroke endings that reinforce a sturdy, signage-like presence.
