A heavy, condensed sans with a tall, compact stance and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a square-rounded, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with tight internal spaces and comparatively closed apertures that reinforce a dense, poster-ready texture. Overall rhythm is firm and vertical, with sturdy joins and minimal modulation.
Well suited to headlines, short bursts of text, and display applications where space is limited but impact is needed. It works effectively for branding, packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a compact, high-density word shape. For longer text, its tight apertures and dense color suggest using larger sizes or generous tracking.
The tone is assertive and pragmatic, leaning toward industrial and signage-like clarity. Its compact width and blocky rounding create a no-nonsense voice that feels modern and functional rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay contemporary while remaining highly legible at display sizes. Its consistent, sturdy forms suggest a focus on clear communication and strong typographic color across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and tall, while lowercase maintains a compact footprint with small counters in letters like e, a, and s. The numerals are similarly condensed and robust, matching the font’s squared rounding and solid color for consistent typographic texture.
