A compact, condensed sans with thick, even strokes and minimal modulation. Curves read as rounded-rectangle forms, with tight internal counters and blunt, squared terminals that keep the silhouette solid and uninterrupted. The lowercase shares the same condensed, vertically driven construction as the caps, with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders that create a dense, stacked rhythm in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same heavy, tightly set geometry, maintaining consistent width and weight across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where density and presence are desirable—posters, packaging labels, signage, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for tight-space UI or editorial display settings when strong emphasis and narrow set width are needed.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a poster-like impact that feels industrial and modern. Its compressed proportions and heavy color convey urgency and authority, leaning more toward functional signage energy than friendly everyday text.
The design appears intended to maximize impact per horizontal space, combining a condensed stance with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes bold visibility and a consistent, mechanical texture over airy readability at small sizes.
Because the counters are small and the joins are tight, the font builds a very dark typographic color, especially in longer lines. Round letters such as O/C/G retain a squarish, superelliptical feel, which reinforces the engineered, compact texture.
