A compact, heavy sans with a strongly condensed stance and squared, superellipse-derived rounds. Strokes are uniform and dense, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, producing a tight, blocky rhythm. Counters and apertures run on the small side (notably in forms like C/S/e), while straight-sided verticals and flattened curves keep silhouettes sturdy and space-efficient. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rectangular logic, with broad weight and simplified interior shapes for maximum presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a compact footprint and strong typographic color are advantages. It also works well for labels, badges, and UI moments that need emphasis, especially in short phrases and punchy statements.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and workmanlike rather than delicate or expressive. Its compact shapes and dark color create an assertive, attention-grabbing voice suited to emphatic messaging and high-impact labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep shapes consistent and mechanically clean. It prioritizes solidity and immediacy over openness, aiming for a durable, modern display voice.
The condensed proportions encourage tight line lengths and strong vertical emphasis, and the closed-in interior spaces make the design feel solid and compact. At larger sizes it reads as confident and poster-ready; in smaller settings the dense counters can feel tight, favoring short bursts of text over extended reading.
