A compact, tightly set sans with a distinctly vertical, condensed build and squared-off proportions softened by subtly rounded corners. Strokes stay firm and even, with straight-sided curves that read more like rounded rectangles than circles, giving counters a contained, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and flat, joins are decisive, and the overall rhythm is narrow and punchy, emphasizing height and economy of space. Numerals and capitals carry the same condensed, blocklike structure, maintaining a consistent, sign-ready texture across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where space is limited and impact matters—posters, packaging panels, signage, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for subheads and captions when a condensed, high-contrast-in-density look is desired, but its strong texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, combining an industrial practicality with a contemporary, display-forward presence. Its narrow, upright stance feels efficient and authoritative, while the softened corners keep it from turning harsh or brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with softened, superellipse-like curves for a modern, engineered voice. It prioritizes clarity and consistency for display applications where a compact, industrial look is an advantage.
In text, the tight widths create a strong vertical cadence and dense color, making headlines feel compact and forceful. The rounded-rectangle logic is especially noticeable in bowl and counter shapes, which stay restrained rather than fully geometric.
