A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from clean, rounded geometry, while terminals are predominantly flat and squared-off, giving forms a crisp, cut-from-solid look. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall spacing reads tight, producing dense, emphatic word shapes. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and minimal calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage where strong presence is needed. It can also work for subheads and labels when a compact, space-efficient voice is desirable, though the dense weight and tight rhythm favor larger sizes.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a slightly retro industrial flavor. Its dense color and simplified construction feel pragmatic and direct, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, using simple geometric construction and heavy strokes to stay legible and forceful in display contexts.
The rounded bowls combined with squared terminals create a distinctive “soft-then-hard” rhythm—smooth curves that resolve into straight endings. Numerals match the same compact, weighty construction, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready texture in mixed settings.
