A compact sans with sturdy, monoline strokes and a distinctly condensed stance. Curves are rounded but slightly squarish in their turning points, giving bowls and counters a firm, engineered feel. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, with occasional angled joins in letters like K, V, W, and Y that add a sharp rhythm. Uppercase forms read tall and controlled, while lowercase keeps simple construction with straightforward shoulders and tight apertures that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, labels, and space-constrained layouts where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for posters, wayfinding, packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, sturdy sans with clear letterforms.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that feels at home in signage and editorial settings. Its condensed rhythm and firm terminals suggest a retro-modern sensibility—functional, assertive, and slightly mechanical rather than friendly or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans for display and editorial use, prioritizing compact proportions, consistent stroke weight, and a crisp, controlled rhythm for high-contrast layouts and tight columns.
In text, the spacing and narrow proportions create a dense, vertical texture that holds up well at larger display sizes and in short blocks of copy. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, maintaining consistent weight and a clear, compact presence.
