A compact, high-impact sans with strongly compressed proportions and heavy, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters like C, O, and G a squared-off, superelliptical feel, while terminals stay blunt and clean. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, producing dense word shapes; round letters remain vertically upright and consistent, and the overall rhythm is rigid and columnar. The lowercase is tall and sturdy with minimal modulation, and figures follow the same condensed, block-forward construction for a cohesive texture in headlines.
Best used for headlines and short bursts of copy where maximum impact and a condensed footprint are desirable—posters, billboard-style layouts, bold labels, and branding that needs a strong vertical punch. It can also work for signage or product marks when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a bold, no-nonsense presence that reads as industrial and urban. Its compressed massing suggests urgency and confidence, making it feel suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver an extremely dense, attention-commanding voice while maintaining clean sans simplicity. By combining compressed proportions with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims to balance toughness and legibility in display settings.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and tight internal counters create a near-solid typographic color at larger sizes. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps the heaviness from feeling harsh, adding a slightly softened, engineered character.
