A sturdy, geometric sans with compact proportions and a high x-height that makes lowercase forms feel large and efficient. Strokes are heavy and even, with clean joins and minimal modulation, giving letters a solid, poster-ready color. Curves are broad and controlled (notably in C, O, and S), while many counters feel tight and squared-off by the weight. Terminals are mostly flat and decisive; overall spacing reads slightly condensed in running text, producing a dense, impactful rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, short-form copy, and graphic applications where strong presence matters—posters, branding lockups, packaging fronts, and signage. It can work for UI labels and navigational text when set with adequate size and spacing, where its compactness becomes an advantage.
The tone is direct and contemporary, with a no-nonsense voice suited to assertive communication. Its heavy, compact forms convey confidence and practicality rather than elegance, leaning toward an industrial, workmanlike modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric letterforms and a large lowercase presence. It prioritizes clarity and strength over delicacy, aiming for a versatile, contemporary sans that reads confidently in display contexts.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and blocky, while the lowercase keeps clear, single-storey forms (notably a and g) that emphasize legibility at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the letters’ strong texture, and punctuation sits cleanly within the same robust visual system.
