A compact, heavy sans with dense vertical strokes and broadly rounded curves. Proportions are tight and space-efficient, with short ascenders/descenders and a relatively low lowercase height that keeps words blocky and stable. Counters tend to run small and apertures are fairly closed, producing a dark, continuous typographic color. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, while curves on letters like C, G, O, and S stay smooth and controlled, balancing the weight with a straightforward, engineered feel.
Best used for headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where a compact footprint and strong weight help carry the message. It can also work well for signage and labels that need high visual authority and quick recognition, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and practical—more workwear than fashion. Its compactness and strong stroke mass read as authoritative and no-nonsense, suited to attention-grabbing communication where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining straightforward sans construction with heavy strokes for a commanding, easily reproducible look in display settings.
The boldness creates strong presence in headlines, but the small internal counters and tight proportions can make long passages feel dense at smaller sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and consistent with the letterforms, reinforcing a signage-like solidity.
