A compact, heavy sans with superelliptical construction: round characters read as rounded-rectangle bowls with flattened sides and smoothly radiused corners. Strokes are blunt and uniform with square terminals, and the overall rhythm is tight due to narrow proportions and short apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, engineered feel with single-storey a and g and a flat-topped t. Counters are relatively small and neatly shaped, producing a dense, sturdy texture in text.
Works best for display contexts where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, branding lockups, and packaging panels. The dense color and compact width also suit wayfinding-style signage and labels where a strong, uniform silhouette helps maintain clarity at a distance.
The tone is utilitarian and assertive—more engineered than friendly—suggesting signage, labeling, and modern editorial voice. Its compactness and blunt geometry give it a pragmatic, urban character that feels confident and efficient.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, combining a contemporary condensed skeleton with rounded-rectangle curves for a clean, industrial finish. The consistent geometry and firm terminals prioritize a disciplined, high-impact look over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Diagonal joins in V/W/Y and the angled leg of R are crisp and controlled, reinforcing the constructed look. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-off logic, with open shapes that stay legible at display sizes despite the tight internal space.
