Keywords: headlines, posters, branding, packaging, signage, industrial, assertive, utilitarian, modern, straightforward, space saving, high impact, geometric clarity, practical modernism, condensed, blocky, rounded corners, compact.
A compact sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly proportioned letterforms. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with minimal modulation; joins are sturdy and corners feel subtly eased. Spacing is economical and the overall texture is dense, producing a strong, dark typographic color in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where high impact and space efficiency matter, such as headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a dense, authoritative tone is desired, though its heavy texture suggests using larger sizes and adequate tracking for comfort.
The font reads as direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike character. Its compressed build and squared rounds convey efficiency and strength, leaning more toward functional modernism than friendliness.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, space-saving voice with a geometric, rounded-rectangle underpinning. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and punch in tight horizontal widths while keeping forms clean and consistent across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase maintains a simple, sturdy construction with single-storey-style simplicity in several letters and minimal detailing. Numerals appear robust and consistent in stroke weight, matching the condensed rhythm of the alphabet for cohesive display use.
