A compact, heavy sans with tightly controlled proportions and a tall, condensed stance. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms that keep counters relatively small. Terminals are flat and clean, apertures are narrow, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, producing strong, uniform word shapes. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, reading clearly at display sizes with a sturdy, poster-like presence.
Works best for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also suits signage, labels, and UI banners where vertical efficiency and strong silhouette matter more than long-form readability.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic—more industrial and no-nonsense than friendly. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a subtle softness at the edges, but the overall impression remains bold, compressed, and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep a modern, engineered feel while maintaining a clean sans structure and highly consistent stroke weight.
In text settings the tight internal spaces and narrow apertures create a dark color that favors shorter lines and larger sizes. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures supports strong visual cohesion in headlines and labels.
