A compact, tightly packed sans with tall proportions and heavy, even strokes. Letterforms lean on rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves are squarish, and counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented. Terminals are clean and blunt, producing a strong vertical rhythm with minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals read especially uniform and poster-like, while lowercase maintains a high, condensed profile with sturdy bowls and short apertures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where space is limited but impact is needed. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a condensed, high-contrast-in-mass word shape and a consistent, grid-friendly rhythm.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like presence. Its compressed build and blocky curves give it an efficient, utilitarian character that feels modern and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to maximize presence in narrow horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-rectangular construction. Its uniform stroke weight and blunt terminals prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy, aiming for confident display typography with a utilitarian edge.
Round letters such as O/Q/C show squarish curvature and tight internal space, reinforcing the superelliptic feel. The design’s density makes it visually striking at display sizes, though the compact counters suggest it will appear darker as size decreases.
