A compact, heavy sans with a tall, compressed silhouette and thick, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true geometric circles. Terminals are largely flat and abrupt, corners are minimally rounded, and internal counters stay relatively tight, producing dense, dark text color. The overall rhythm is consistent and disciplined, with a straightforward, no-nonsense construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space—posters, signage, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short, high-contrast UI labels or category headers when used at sufficiently large sizes.
The typeface projects a strong, emphatic voice—more forceful than friendly. Its condensed, blocky shapes and squared curves evoke industrial labeling and headline typography, conveying urgency, authority, and directness.
Likely designed to deliver high visual density and instant readability at display sizes, using superelliptical rounding to keep the forms sturdy while avoiding overly sharp corners. The condensed proportions suggest an emphasis on fitting big messages into tight layouts without losing weight or presence.
The narrow set and tight counters make it excel at bold statements, while the compact apertures can start to fill in visually as size decreases. Numerals follow the same squared, heavy logic, maintaining an even, commanding texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
