A compact sans with a tall, tightly spaced stance and a strongly condensed footprint. Strokes are uniform and dark, with terminals that read as cleanly cut rather than flared. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel (notably in C, O, e, and 0). The lowercase shows sturdy, simple construction with short joins and minimal modulation; numerals follow the same narrow, blocky logic for a consistent rhythm across text and display sizes.
Well-suited to space-constrained headlines, poster typography, and compact branding where a strong, condensed voice is needed. The tight geometry and consistent strokes also fit packaging and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from a firm, legible silhouette at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and contemporary, with an industrial, signage-like directness. Its compressed proportions and dense color feel efficient and no-nonsense, leaning more technical than friendly while still staying approachable through rounded corners.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-rectangular form language. It prioritizes a strong, even typographic color and a modern, engineered feel for contemporary display and short-text settings.
Distinctive superellipse rounds keep the condensed forms from feeling brittle, helping maintain clarity in counters at larger sizes. The font’s dark texture and narrow letterforms create a strong vertical cadence, which can be striking in headlines but visually dense in long passages if not given ample tracking and line spacing.
