A compact, tightly proportioned sans with tall lowercase and uniform, heavy stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, yielding oval counters and squared-round terminals that keep forms sturdy and controlled. The design relies on simplified, vertical construction with minimal modulation, producing a dense texture and strong rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic for consistent color in mixed copy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where space is limited but impact is required. It also works well for bold wordmarks, labels, and short promotional lines, especially when a compact, dense typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with an industrial confidence that reads as direct and no-nonsense. Its compressed stance and heavy presence give it a headline energy suited to emphatic statements and bold branding.
The letterforms suggest an intention to maximize visual strength in a narrow footprint while maintaining clarity through simplified, rounded-rectangular construction. The design prioritizes presence and efficient space usage over delicate detail, aiming for dependable legibility in bold display settings.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, creating a continuous dark stripe in text lines at larger sizes. The squared-round shaping keeps the font from feeling purely mechanical, but the overall impression remains firm and functional rather than playful.
