A condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and tight apertures that keep the silhouette dense and economical. The x-height is prominent and the spacing reads firm and efficient, supporting strong vertical rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display settings where a dense, commanding voice is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand statements. The condensed width helps fit long titles into limited space, and the sturdy construction works well for signage and interface labels where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is direct and workmanlike, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its rounded-squared construction adds approachability without losing authority, making it feel confident, practical, and highly legible at a glance.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, pairing a condensed build with rounded-rectilinear forms for a modern, utilitarian look. The intent appears to balance strict geometry with softened corners to keep the tone strong but not harsh.
Uppercase forms stay rigid and architectural, while lowercase shapes maintain the same squared-round logic, producing a consistent texture in text. Numerals follow the same compact, sturdy design language, reinforcing a strong, sign-like presence.
