A compact, heavy sans with tightly set, vertical proportions and a distinctly rectilinear construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, keeping counters simple and fairly uniform. Strokes appear monoline with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, producing dense letterforms and strong, even color. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic, with a tall x-height, short extenders, and compact bowls that prioritize solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a compact, high-impact presence is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when space is limited, though its dense forms suggest using generous tracking and avoiding long text runs.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a contemporary, industrial crispness. Its condensed massing reads confident and no-nonsense, leaning toward headlines that need urgency and impact rather than a soft or lyrical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, combining a geometric, rounded-rect form language with strong, simplified counters for clear recognition at display sizes.
Round letters such as O/C/G show squared-off geometry with softened corners, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and disciplined, reinforcing a technical rhythm. The numerals are similarly sturdy and compact, suited to prominent display sizes where dense shapes and tight proportions are assets.
