A compact sans with tall proportions and a tight horizontal footprint. Strokes are uniformly heavy with minimal modulation, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls, giving letters a squared-off softness rather than fully circular geometry. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is dense but orderly. The lowercase shows a single-story “a” and “g”, short crossbars, and straightforward, engineered joins that keep shapes stable at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and signage where space is limited but strong presence is needed. It can also support branding systems that favor compact wordmarks and bold typographic lockups.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, projecting strength and efficiency. Its condensed stance and blocky rounding feel contemporary and slightly industrial, with a no-nonsense voice suited to emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed width while staying clean and highly consistent. Its superelliptical rounding and heavy, even strokes aim for a modern, industrial clarity that holds together in large sizes and dense layouts.
Round letters like O/C/S read as squarish-rounded forms, while verticals dominate the silhouette across both cases. The numerals follow the same compact, sturdy construction, maintaining consistent weight and corner rounding for a cohesive set.
