A compact, condensed sans with heavy strokes and clean, squared-off terminals. Curves are smooth but kept tight, producing rounded counters that feel controlled rather than soft. Vertical stems dominate, with short crossbars and generally closed apertures that create a dense, economical texture. Spacing appears disciplined and even, supporting a strong, continuous rhythm in lines of text.
Works well for condensed headlines, posters, and branding where a strong voice and efficient width are beneficial. It also suits packaging and signage systems that need compact, high-impact typography with consistent rhythm.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as modern and practical. Its compact shapes and dense color give it a confident, attention-grabbing presence without decorative flair.
Likely designed to deliver maximum emphasis in limited horizontal space, combining compact proportions with a sturdy, simplified construction for reliable display use.
At text sizes the font forms a dark, steady typographic color with limited sparkle, prioritizing solidity over openness. The numerals and capitals carry a straightforward, engineered feel that suits layouts where space is constrained and emphasis is desired.
