A compact, condensed display sans with sturdy vertical stems, tight internal counters, and clean, mostly flat terminals. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, giving bowls and rounds a slightly squared softness rather than a purely circular feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a,” a compact “e” with a horizontal bar, and a “t” with a short crossbar; the overall rhythm is vertical and efficient, with consistent stroke behavior that stays firm in text and headlines. Numerals are similarly compact and high-contrast in silhouette, with a narrow “0” and dense “8” that read strongly at size.
It works best for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a compact footprint and high impact are priorities—such as magazine mastheads, poster typography, packaging, and brand wordmarks. The condensed proportions also make it effective for tight column headers or attention-grabbing callouts in editorial layouts.
The font projects an editorial, no-nonsense tone—confident and slightly severe—suited to bold typographic statements where space is limited. Its condensed stance and squared-soft curves create a contemporary, industrial polish while keeping a clear, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans voice with softened rectangular curves—balancing modern geometry with robust legibility in large sizes. Its consistent, compact forms suggest a focus on strong typographic color and confident presence rather than delicate detail.
Spacing appears tight and purposeful, emphasizing tall proportions and strong word shapes. Round letters (like O/C/G) retain a squarish curvature that helps maintain uniform color across lines, while the heavier verticals keep forms stable in dense settings.
