A compact, vertically oriented sans with sturdy strokes and crisp terminals. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-elliptical geometry, while straight stems stay firm and evenly weighted, producing a stable, low-modulation rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, reinforcing a compact texture in text. Uppercase forms read disciplined and architectural, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with simple bowls and minimal detailing.
Well suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where compact width and strong presence are advantages—posters, packaging, signage, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for subheads and UI labels when a tight, efficient typographic footprint is needed and the visual tone should stay clean and direct.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an efficient, industrial feel. Its tight proportions and solid color give it an assertive voice suited to attention-forward communication without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with strong visual economy: solid strokes, restrained shapes, and clear geometry that stays consistent across letters and numerals. The focus seems to be on creating a compact, high-impact texture for contemporary display and practical communication.
The numerals echo the same compact, sturdy construction, with clear, simple shapes that hold up at display sizes. In paragraphs, the spacing and condensed outlines create a dense, poster-like texture, making the type feel purposeful and strong rather than airy.
