A compact, heavy sans with tall, condensed proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are essentially uniform, producing a dense, even color, while corners and curves are softly squared, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) feel. Many forms favor straight sides and flattened curves, with tight internal spaces that reinforce the sturdy, packed-in texture. Uppercase construction is clean and geometric; lowercase follows with simple, workmanlike shapes and a single-storey a and g, plus short, solid terminals.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, posters, and any layout where space is tight but impact is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, event promotions, and bold UI accents where a compact, assertive voice helps establish hierarchy.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, reading as confident, no-nonsense, and built for attention. Its narrow width and dense weight add urgency and punch, suggesting headlines, signage, and bold messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using squared-off rounding and simplified geometry to stay legible and consistent under strong display conditions.
The font’s tight apertures and compact counters create high presence at large sizes, but the same density can make small sizes feel crowded. Numerals match the heavy, condensed rhythm, keeping a consistent, poster-like texture across mixed text.
