A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be closed, giving letters a dense, sturdy texture at text sizes. Curves are smooth and rounded but resolved with firm terminals and squared-off joins, creating a clean, engineered rhythm. Spacing appears economical, supporting a narrow overall footprint while maintaining clear letterforms.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a compact, high-impact sans is needed. The dense stroke weight and restrained spacing also make it useful for UI labels, navigation, and packaging copy that must stay readable while conserving horizontal space.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial confidence. Its dense color and compact stance feel practical and workmanlike rather than expressive, projecting clarity and authority in short statements and headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact and clarity in a constrained width, pairing geometric roundness with firm terminals to produce a stable, modern workhorse for display and short-text settings.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong and uniform, while the lowercase retains simple, familiar constructions that prioritize legibility over flair. Numerals match the same solid, compact build, producing a consistent, punchy texture when mixed with text.
