A compact, heavy sans with monoline strokes and softened corners throughout. Forms are built from simple geometric construction—round counters in letters like O/C and straight-sided stems—creating a consistent, workmanlike rhythm. The lowercase has a notably tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, keeping words dense and highly legible. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while inner corners are gently rounded, giving the overall texture a sturdy but not harsh appearance.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and wayfinding or display signage. Its compact width and tall lowercase make it effective for dense title lines and UI-style emphasis where space is limited but legibility must remain high.
The tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with an industrial, signage-like confidence. Rounded corners and open shapes add a mild friendliness, balancing the font’s strong weight and compact proportions. Overall it reads as modern and straightforward rather than elegant or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient sans for display use, combining geometric simplicity with rounded-corner refinement to keep the texture approachable while retaining strong impact.
Counters stay relatively open for a heavy style, which helps maintain clarity in tight setting. Curves appear slightly squared (more like rounded rectangles than perfect circles), and the numerals follow the same robust, compact logic as the letters for a consistent typographic color.
