A compact, heavy sans with a tall, tightly packed silhouette and minimal stroke modulation. Forms are built from straight verticals and blunt terminals, softened by rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and counters smooth rather than circular. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and small internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s, producing a solid, poster-ready texture. Numerals follow the same stout, condensed construction with simple, sturdy shapes and squared-off joins.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing display settings where a tight footprint and strong typographic color are useful. It can also work for packaging, label design, and signage where condensed proportions help fit more characters without losing impact.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a compressed, high-pressure presence that reads as loud and commanding. Its blocky geometry and tight spacing evoke utilitarian signage and bold editorial headlines rather than delicate or conversational typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms cohesive and modern. It prioritizes bold presence and compactness for display communication over openness or text readability.
At larger sizes the rounded-rect geometry becomes a defining signature, especially in the bowls of B, P, R and the oval of O. In longer lines, the dense color and narrow apertures can make word shapes feel compact and monolithic, which is a strength for emphasis but can reduce comfort for extended reading.
