A condensed sans with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke. Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and a consistent, vertical rhythm; the lowercase forms read sturdy and spacious in the counters despite the tight width. Overall spacing is disciplined and columnar, producing a dense, high-ink texture that holds together well at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and short bursts of text where horizontal space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, packaging fronts, labels, and wayfinding. It also works for editorial display applications like section headers, pull quotes, and compact UI titles where a tight, forceful presence helps establish hierarchy.
The tone is direct and pragmatic, evoking industrial labeling and contemporary utility typography. Its condensed stance and firm strokes create an energetic, no-nonsense voice that feels modern, slightly technical, and attention-forward rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, pairing clean sans construction with subtly squared, rounded counters for a distinctive geometric signature. It prioritizes clarity, consistency, and a strong vertical cadence for contemporary display-driven typography.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R keep a squared interior that reinforces the geometric theme. The numerals follow the same compact logic, with simplified, sturdy shapes that match the letterforms and maintain a consistent color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
