A compact, heavy sans with squared construction softened by subtly rounded corners. Curves read as superellipse-like shapes, giving counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Strokes are broadly uniform with flat terminals and minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Proportions are tall and condensed, with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and a generally compact rhythm that stays consistent across cases and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks where a condensed footprint helps fit more characters into limited space. It can also work for labels and signage that benefit from strong visual presence and a compact, geometric rhythm.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, prioritizing punch and clarity over delicacy. Its squared geometry and dense color give it an industrial, contemporary voice that feels direct, bold, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow width, using rounded-rectangular geometry to keep shapes feeling modern and controlled. Its consistent stroke behavior and tight apertures suggest a focus on bold display performance and unmistakable presence in large sizes.
Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with short joins and relatively small counters that hold up at display sizes. Numerals are similarly blocky and assertive, matching the typeface’s tight, high-impact color and condensed stance.
