A compact, condensed sans with heavy strokes and crisply squared curves that read like softened rectangles. The forms are built from straight verticals and broad, flat terminals, with rounded corners showing up most clearly in bowls and curves. Counters are relatively small and shapes stay tight, producing a dense texture in words. Uppercase proportions are tall and narrow, while the lowercase shows a large x-height and minimal modulation, keeping the rhythm consistent across lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold typographic statements where condensed width and strong stroke weight help fit more characters while maintaining impact. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a compact, emphatic voice. In longer passages, its dense color and tight counters suggest using larger sizes or generous spacing for comfort.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a compressed stance that feels engineered and no-nonsense. Its squared, compact curves suggest an industrial or technical sensibility, while the smooth rounding keeps it from feeling harsh. The result is contemporary and confident, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using squared-off curves and sturdy construction to create a modern, industrial feel. It prioritizes bold presence and uniform rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters like O/Q/C and the lowercase a/e use boxy, superelliptic geometry, and several joins and terminals end in clean, blunt cuts. The numerals match the same narrow, heavy construction, staying visually consistent with the caps and maintaining strong presence at display sizes.
