A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tight internal counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, producing a solid, blocklike color in text. Curves are clean and geometric, with round bowls that stay fairly closed at this weight, while joins and terminals remain straightforward and mostly squared-off. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with capitals and figures that feel engineered for clarity and punch rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, labels, packaging, and signage where a compact footprint and strong stroke weight help maintain presence. It can also work for UI headers or short navigational elements that benefit from firm, high-contrast figure/letter silhouettes, provided sizes and spacing are generous enough to keep counters from closing up.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an assertive presence that reads as practical and direct. Its compact stance and sturdy shapes evoke a technical, industrial character—confident, slightly stern, and built for visibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed space, prioritizing a firm typographic color and straightforward geometry for quick recognition. It aims for a contemporary, functional voice that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At display sizes the tight apertures and small counters create a strong silhouette and high impact, while in longer lines the dense texture can feel weighty. Numerals and capitals match the same compact, upright construction, reinforcing a consistent, structured voice across headings and short statements.
