A compact, condensed sans with a strong vertical emphasis and tight, economical proportions. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely uniform, with smooth, squared-round (superellipse-like) curves in bowls and terminals that keep forms sturdy rather than soft. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrow, producing a dense, poster-ready color. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, while capitals read tall and straight-sided; curves (C/G/O/Q) feel rounded-rectangular and controlled rather than purely circular. Numerals match the same blocky, condensed construction for a cohesive text-and-display rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other high-impact typographic layouts where space is tight and a dense, assertive presence is desired. It can work effectively for signage, labels, packaging, and bold UI headers where quick recognition matters. For extended text, it benefits from larger sizes, looser tracking, and ample line spacing to offset its compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a contemporary, industrial clarity. Its compressed width and dense black shape convey urgency and efficiency, leaning more toward signage and headlines than leisurely reading. The squared-round geometry gives it a modern, engineered feel without becoming playful or ornamental.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed structure with sturdy, squared-round geometry. The intent appears to prioritize clarity at display sizes, consistent typographic color, and a contemporary, utilitarian voice.
Across the sample text, spacing and rhythm stay compact, with strong word shapes and minimal flourish. The punctuation and diacritics shown appear clean and straightforward, maintaining the same heavy, condensed texture as the letters. The design’s narrow apertures and small counters can make long passages feel dark at smaller sizes, but it holds up well when set large or with generous leading.
