A compact, condensed sans with tall capitals and tightly proportioned lowercase. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with minimal modulation and crisp, squared terminals. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls read slightly squarish, counters are compact, and joins stay firm and controlled. The lowercase shows a relatively small x-height compared to ascenders, while punctuation and figures follow the same sturdy, no-nonsense construction for an even, consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to space-conscious display settings where you need impact in a narrow width—headlines, posters, labels, and signage. It can also work for branding elements and UI headers where a compact, assertive wordshape is desirable, while longer passages will read as dense due to its tight counters and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is utilitarian and contemporary, with an industrial edge created by dense proportions and firm, blocky curves. It feels direct and authoritative rather than expressive, projecting efficiency and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, space-efficient typography with a modern, geometric flavor. Its squared-round curves and consistent stroke behavior aim for clarity and durability across bold display applications.
In longer samples the narrow set and strong weight produce a dark, continuous typographic color, making whitespace inside letters feel deliberately tightened. The superellipse-like rounding keeps it from feeling purely mechanical, adding a subtle softness to an otherwise hard-working voice.
