A compact, vertically stressed sans with tall lowercase proportions and tightly controlled sidebearings. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and mostly squared construction softened by subtly rounded outer corners, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are kept taut and narrow, apertures are small, and joints resolve cleanly into straight stems, producing a dense, efficient texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same condensed, monoline logic, reading crisp and economical at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a strong, space-saving wordmark needs to stay legible. It also fits bold identity applications—such as logos, labels, and interface headers—where a compact, high-impact sans is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and workmanlike, with an industrial edge and a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed rhythm and firm stroke weight convey urgency and authority, making it feel assertive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in limited horizontal space, using simplified geometry and rounded-rectangular curves to keep forms sturdy and consistent. It prioritizes a strong typographic color and clear vertical rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
The uppercase set appears especially tall and columnar, with tight internal spacing that emphasizes verticality. The lowercase maintains strong readability through a large x-height, though the compact counters and narrow apertures create a darker typographic color in continuous copy.
