A compact, vertically emphasized sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly drawn proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and consistent stroke weight across joins. The lowercase has a large x-height with short extenders, creating dense word shapes; counters stay relatively small, boosting punch at display sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same condensed, sturdy construction for a uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for signage and short blocks of text when set with adequate size and leading to preserve openness.
The tone is assertive and pragmatic, with an industrial, sign-like confidence. Its squared curves and dense rhythm read as contemporary and utilitarian rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting strength and clarity.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical rounds and sturdy, uniform strokes to create a strong, contemporary display presence with straightforward readability.
Spacing appears tuned for tight set text, producing a solid typographic “bar” in paragraphs. The rounded-square construction keeps forms stable and legible while maintaining a distinctive, slightly mechanical personality.
