A compact sans with sturdy, largely uniform stroke weight and clean, squared terminals. Proportions are tight and efficient, with straight-sided verticals, simplified curves, and a generally geometric construction. Counters tend to be relatively small and several letters show more closed apertures, which reinforces a dense, solid texture. The lowercase is straightforward and contemporary, with single-storey forms (notably the a) and short extenders that keep lines feeling contained.
Well suited to short-to-medium setting where a strong voice and space efficiency are useful—headlines, poster copy, packaging, and identity systems. The condensed build also makes it a practical choice for signage or UI labels when horizontal space is limited, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is direct and pragmatic: strong, condensed letterforms that read as modern, confident, and functional. Its dense rhythm and closed shapes give it a slightly industrial seriousness, while the smooth curves keep it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans optimized for impact and economy of space. Its simplified geometry and closed apertures suggest a focus on creating a solid, confident texture that holds up in bold display typography while staying clean and systematic.
In running text the face builds a dark, even typographic color, helped by tight interior spaces and minimal stroke modulation. The numerals match the same compact, assertive voice, and the set maintains consistent weight and alignment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
