A compact, heavy sans with sturdy, low‑contrast strokes and a tall, condensed silhouette. Curves are rounded but tightly drawn, with generous counters in letters like O and e to keep forms open at bold sizes. Terminals tend to be clean and squared-off, and joins are straightforward, producing a strong, even texture in words. Overall spacing is efficient and the rhythm feels vertical and disciplined, giving the face a dense, poster-ready color.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where a dense, dark typographic color is desirable. It should perform well for signage, labels, and packaging where space is limited and readability needs to stay strong at medium-to-large sizes. It can also support bold brand systems that rely on compact wordmarks and punchy typographic hierarchy.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, workmanlike character. Its condensed weight and crisp, simple construction read as practical and energetic, leaning more toward utilitarian signage than delicate editorial refinement.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient, high-impact sans for display and functional communication. The condensed proportions and sturdy geometry suggest an emphasis on clarity, economy of width, and strong presence in titles and signage contexts.
The uppercase set appears especially compact and uniform, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and legible apertures in common text shapes. Numerals are straightforward and bold, matching the letterforms’ compact proportions and emphasizing clarity at a distance.
