A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tight internal space. The strokes are sturdy and mostly monolinear, with smooth, squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles in letters such as O, C, and G. Counters are relatively small, terminals are clean and blunt, and joins are crisp, producing a dense, efficient texture. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike construction (single-storey a and g), and numerals are broad-shouldered and stable, matching the overall weight and compact rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand statements. It can also work for UI labels and navigation where compact width is helpful, though its dense color suggests using generous size and spacing for longer passages.
The font conveys a strong, no-nonsense tone—confident, direct, and engineered. Its compact width and solid shapes give it a contemporary, industrial voice that feels functional rather than expressive, favoring clarity and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette. The rounded-rectangle geometry balances hardness and approachability, aiming for a sturdy, contemporary display voice.
In text settings the heavy weight creates a dark color and prominent vertical rhythm, while the rounded-rectangle curves prevent it from feeling overly sharp. The design remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing uniformity and robustness.
