A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in its curves. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, creating a dense texture and strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and curves in letters like C, G, O, and S read as squarish rounds rather than true circles. Numerals share the same blocky, compact build, keeping a consistent color across mixed text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and promotional copy where vertical economy and strong presence are needed. It can work effectively for branding, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where a compact, high-impact voice helps content stand out.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense, industrial feel. Its condensed proportions and tight counters push it toward urgency and impact rather than softness or elegance, reading as contemporary and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with superelliptical curves for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes a consistent, sturdy texture and clear geometric identity for display-oriented typography.
At text sizes the font produces a dark, uniform typographic color, especially in all-caps settings. The design’s squarish curves and short joins emphasize geometry and compression, which can feel punchy in headlines but visually dense in longer passages.
