A condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and compact proportions. Curves are smooth but restrained, with squarish bowls and subtly rounded corners that keep the shapes sturdy rather than soft. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, apertures are relatively tight, and counters are small for the weight, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase is simple and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and generally closed, efficient forms; numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction with consistent stroke weight.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well in signage or UI labels when space is limited, and it performs especially strongly in all-caps or short subheads.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, emphasizing clarity and impact over delicacy. Its condensed heft reads as no-nonsense and slightly industrial, lending a confident, attention-grabbing presence in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using sturdy, simplified forms and uniform stroke behavior for reliable reproduction. Its compact construction suggests a focus on display and utility applications where density and immediacy matter.
Spacing appears tight and the condensed set-width creates a strong vertical rhythm, especially in all-caps. The bold weight and compact counters can make long passages feel dark, but the shapes stay clean and consistent at display sizes.
