A condensed sans with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke. Curves are constructed from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a tightened, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with minimal modulation and a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, functional construction, and the numerals match the same compressed, squared rhythm for consistent texture in runs of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand lockups where compact width and high visual density are advantages. It can also work for signage and short UI labels when space is tight and strong contrast against the background is needed, while longer passages will appear quite heavy and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial directness that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented. Its tightened shapes and heavy color create a confident, engineered feel suited to impactful communication rather than delicate nuance.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining squared, rounded-rectangle geometry with a strong, uniform stroke for clear, forceful display typography. The consistent rhythm across letters and numerals suggests an emphasis on coherent, modern system-like branding.
The design’s condensed width and dense internal spacing produce a dark, uniform typographic color, especially in headlines. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid geometry, balancing toughness with approachability while maintaining a crisp, controlled rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
