A compact, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and tightly contained proportions. Curves are round but controlled, with mostly squared terminals and minimal modulation, giving the forms a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are relatively small and the overall rhythm is dense, especially in uppercase and numerals. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably “a” and “g”), keeping the texture straightforward and consistent across sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where compact width and strong weight help text stay readable at a distance or in constrained layouts. It also works well for packaging, labels, and UI headers where a firm, modern voice and dense texture are desirable. For long-form reading, it will be most comfortable with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and confidence rather than softness or elegance. Its dense color and compact stance feel practical and businesslike, with an assertive presence suitable for attention-getting settings.
Likely designed as a space-efficient, high-impact sans that delivers a modern, straightforward voice across display and functional applications. The simplified, consistent shapes suggest an emphasis on robustness, quick recognition, and reliable reproduction.
The figures are solid and legible with simple, open constructions and a consistent weight that holds up well at larger sizes. The overall spacing and shapes favor impact over airiness, producing a strong, continuous text color in paragraphs.
