This typeface has compact, condensed proportions with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves that keep counters tight and forms sturdy. The geometry feels mostly constructed: straight-sided verticals and horizontals dominate, while bowls and rounds are squarish rather than circular. Terminals are generally blunt, and curves transition quickly into flats, producing a firm, blocky rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a” and an angular, hooked “j” that adds a small point of personality within an otherwise rigid system.
It performs best where strong presence is needed: headlines, display typography, posters, and attention-grabbing brand marks. The condensed build also suits space-constrained applications such as packaging, labels, signage, and bold UI callouts where short phrases must read loudly at a glance.
The overall tone is confident and forceful, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed width and squared rounds suggest utility and impact, reading as contemporary and slightly industrial. The look leans more toward emphasis and urgency than softness, even with the rounded corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining squared, superelliptical curves with sturdy strokes for a compact, high-density texture. It prioritizes a consistent, constructed silhouette that remains readable and forceful in large sizes.
Round letters like C, O, and G retain squarish internal space, reinforcing the compact color. The numerals follow the same constructed logic, with sturdy, simplified shapes that match the strong headline presence. Spacing appears tuned for dense setting, contributing to a solid, dark texture in paragraph-like samples.
