A compact, condensed sans with heavy strokes and tight internal counters, built from rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals. The letterforms emphasize verticality with straight-sided stems and minimally modulated joins, creating a dense texture in text. Bowls and rounds (such as in C, O, e, and 0) read as squarish superelliptic shapes rather than true circles, while apertures remain relatively small, reinforcing the sturdy, poster-like weight. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, engineered feel, with short ascenders/descenders and simplified, closed construction that maintains consistent rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where space is tight but impact is required. It can work well for packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage, and for logo wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, sturdy silhouette. For extended reading, larger sizes and generous tracking help offset the dense texture.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, projecting a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its condensed proportions and blocky rounding suggest signage and workhorse branding rather than delicate editorial nuance, delivering an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis within a narrow footprint, using superelliptic rounding to keep the forms contemporary and cohesive. Its consistent, compact geometry suggests a focus on strong silhouettes and reliable reproduction in display contexts.
In the sample text, the narrow set width produces strong line economy and a bold, uniform color, while the tight counters can make long passages feel dense. The rounded-corner geometry softens the severity of the heavy weight, helping it feel modern rather than purely mechanical.
