A condensed, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and a compact, space-efficient footprint. Curves are broad and simplified, with squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and joins are crisp and straightforward; diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are steep and purposeful. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with a single-storey a and g, and a tall, straight-sided rhythm that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding systems that need strong impact in limited horizontal space. It can also work well for packaging and labels where bold, compact typography improves shelf readability and hierarchy.
The overall tone is direct and forceful, with a no-nonsense, industrial feel. Its compressed proportions and high mass give it an assertive, headline-ready voice that reads as modern and functional rather than delicate or expressive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact and clarity in a condensed format, emphasizing strength, efficiency, and straightforward legibility for display-driven typography.
In text, the tight counters and condensed width create a solid texture and strong word shapes, especially at larger sizes. Round letters like O/C/G and the numerals keep a simplified geometry that helps maintain a consistent, engineered look across the set.
