A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are monoline and strongly uniform, with counters kept relatively tight, creating dense dark shapes and a firm typographic texture. The joins and terminals feel clean and engineered rather than calligraphic, and round letters (like O/C) resolve as squarish superellipse forms. Uppercase has a tall, commanding presence, while the lowercase maintains a simplified, sturdy construction that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where maximum impact is needed in limited space—posters, bold branding wordmarks, packaging callouts, and clear signage. It can also work for UI labels or editorial subheads when a dense, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike confidence. Its dense forms and compact rhythm give it a poster-ready punch that feels contemporary and practical rather than delicate or expressive.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact readability in condensed settings while keeping forms simple and consistent. The rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an intention to blend industrial sturdiness with a contemporary, softened edge for modern display typography.
Spacing appears economical, reinforcing a tight horizontal rhythm in text. Numerals share the same solid, squared-curve language, supporting a consistent, sign-like appearance across letters and figures.
