A compact, heavy sans with tightly set proportions and a distinctly vertical stance. Strokes are uniformly thick with clean, squared terminals, while bowls and counters stay open and rounded, giving letters like O, Q, and G a smooth, geometric feel. Curves are slightly squashed to fit the narrow width, and joins are firm and unembellished, producing a consistent, blocky rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to headlines and short text where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, covers, packaging panels, and brand marks. It can also perform in wayfinding and informational signage where a dense, high-contrast word shape helps maintain legibility at a distance.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like confidence. Its condensed build reads as purposeful and space-efficient, projecting urgency and clarity rather than softness or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, balancing rounded, geometric counters with blunt, pragmatic terminals for clear, compact display typography.
The uppercase shows a disciplined, simplified construction (notably in E/F/T and the diagonal forms), and the lowercase maintains sturdy, compact shapes with minimal modulation. Numerals appear robust and legible, matching the same dense, uniform color and straightforward geometry.
