A compact, heavy sans with tightly proportioned letterforms and a strongly condensed stance. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly flat, giving a clean, engineered rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, producing squared counters and softened corners across letters and numerals. Spacing appears economical and the overall texture is dense and even, favoring tall verticals and simplified joins.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where dense, high-impact text is needed in limited horizontal space. It works well for signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy, industrial-modern presence. In longer passages it will create a dark, compact texture, so it is most effective for short bursts of copy, labels, and titles.
The tone is direct and forceful, with a pragmatic, workmanlike voice that reads as contemporary and functional. Its squared, softened geometry suggests industrial signage and modern utility graphics rather than elegance or softness. The condensed build adds urgency and efficiency, making the font feel focused and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space by combining a condensed structure with sturdy, uniform strokes and superellipse-like rounding. Its simplified, squared curves and flat terminals prioritize clarity, consistency, and a contemporary utilitarian feel in display-oriented typography.
The rounded-rect construction is especially noticeable in bowls and curves, where counters feel squarish and apertures stay relatively tight. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same compact, sturdy logic, reinforcing a consistent, poster-ready color on the page.
