A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tight, efficient rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circles. Strokes stay even and firm, terminals are mostly blunt, and interior apertures are relatively narrow, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows a high x-height with short extenders and simple, workmanlike shapes; numerals follow the same sturdy, squared-curve construction for consistent color in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where a condensed footprint and strong typographic color are helpful. It also fits signage and packaging applications that benefit from sturdy, space-efficient letterforms and a modern, industrial feel.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial edge. Its condensed presence and dense spacing read as confident and emphatic, evoking signage, labeling, and utilitarian graphic design more than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving a clean, modern voice. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate blend of geometric clarity and softened corners for a contemporary, engineered look.
Round letters keep a distinctive ‘soft-square’ silhouette that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain uniform visual color. The design favors strong verticals and compact counters, which can boost impact at display sizes while appearing tight and forceful in longer text blocks.
