A compact, heavy-weight sans with tall proportions and tight internal spacing. Strokes are largely monolinear with slight contrast, and terminals are clean and squared with subtly softened corners, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than a pure geometric circle. Curves are controlled and verticals dominate, producing a steady, vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins stay firm and uncluttered, keeping shapes legible even in dense settings.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where space is limited but strong emphasis is needed. It can also work for signage, packaging, and editorial callouts that require a compact, contemporary voice and clear letterforms.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, institutional confidence. Its condensed build and sturdy forms suggest efficiency and clarity, favoring impact over friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a narrow footprint, using controlled superelliptical rounding to keep forms crisp while avoiding harshness. It aims for a modern, pragmatic look that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, engineered presence with minimal flourish, while the lowercase stays restrained and businesslike. The font’s tight apertures and compact counters benefit from adequate size or spacing when used in longer text.
