This is a condensed sans with heavy, even-weight strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves throughout. Counters are compact and tightly enclosed, with squarish round shapes in letters like O/C/G and in the numerals. Terminals are generally flat and clean, producing a crisp rhythm and a strong vertical emphasis; the overall texture is dense and high-contrast against the page by virtue of weight rather than stroke modulation.
It works especially well for headlines, subheads, posters, and attention-grabbing UI labels where a compact, commanding presence is needed. The condensed proportions also suit packaging, wayfinding-style signage, sports or event graphics, and branding that wants a straightforward, engineered look. For longer passages, it will create a dark, dense color, making it better as a display face than for extended body text.
The tone is direct and confident, with a utilitarian, no-nonsense feel. Its condensed stance and firm curves give it a modern, slightly industrial voice that reads as practical and assertive rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in limited horizontal space. Its consistent stroke weight and squared-round geometry prioritize strong silhouettes and quick recognition, helping text stay legible and forceful at larger sizes and in short bursts.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the “a”), reinforcing a simplified, contemporary construction. Numerals are robust and tightly set in feel, matching the squared-round motif seen across the capitals.
