A compact sans with tall proportions and a tight, efficient rhythm. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared-off terminals that often soften into rounded-rectangle corners, giving curves a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Counters are relatively narrow and apertures tend to be restrained, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms and straight-sided stems, while round letters like O/C/G read as vertically oriented ovals with softened edges.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact footprint with high visual impact. It can also work for signage and UI labels where space is limited, especially when given adequate tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and modern, leaning toward industrial clarity rather than friendliness. Its compact shapes and dark color create an assertive, “headline” voice that reads as direct and practical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving, high-impact sans with a consistent, engineered geometry. By combining straight, vertical stems with superelliptical curves and firm terminals, it targets clear, modern display typography that stays cohesive across letters and figures.
Numbers share the same condensed, sturdy construction, with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves and tight internal spaces that keep the set cohesive. In longer text, the strong verticality and dense color encourage use at larger sizes or with generous spacing for best comfort.
