A compact, vertically oriented sans with tall proportions and a tight, economical footprint. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and generally squared terminals that are slightly softened, giving many curves a rounded-rectangle feel. Counters are narrow and controlled, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with consistent widths and clean joins that keep forms crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where space is limited but strong presence is needed. It can work for short blocks of text or captions when set with generous tracking and leading, but its dense counters and condensed rhythm make it most effective in display and branding applications.
The tone is direct and utilitarian, projecting strength and clarity without ornament. Its condensed stance and sturdy construction suggest signage and engineered systems—pragmatic, modern, and a bit stern—while the softened corners keep it from feeling brittle.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow measure, pairing sturdy, uniform strokes with subtly rounded geometry for a contemporary, functional voice. The emphasis appears to be on bold legibility and compactness for real-world display settings.
Round letters like O/C/G read as squarish ovals with softened corners, while straight-sided letters (E/F/H/N) feel rigid and architectural. Lowercase forms maintain a tall x-height and compact apertures, producing a dense texture in paragraphs that favors impact over airiness.
