A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a distinctly condensed skeleton. Strokes are thick and confident with mostly uniform weight and only modest modulation, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Curves and bowls read as rounded-rectangle forms, with squared-off terminals and straight-sided counters that reinforce a structured, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and “a”, short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall caps, and a generally compact aperture strategy that keeps forms closed and efficient.
Best suited for headline typography where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, campaign lines, product packaging, and editorial display. It can work well for signage and labeling systems that benefit from a compact footprint and strong emphasis, and for short UI or dashboard headings when paired with ample spacing.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and informational. Its narrow stance and heavy color feel assertive and urgent, suggesting headlines, labeling, and attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet, literary text.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum density and clarity in display settings: condensed proportions for fitting more characters per line, heavy strokes for punch, and superelliptical rounding to keep the voice modern and cohesive.
The condensed widths amplify vertical rhythm, and the rounded-rect geometry gives the face a consistent, system-like cohesion across letters and numerals. In the sample text, the weight and tight internal spaces produce strong presence but also a darker paragraph color, making it better suited to larger sizes or generous spacing.
