A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shaping throughout. Curves and counters are squarish and tightly enclosed, giving letters a blocky, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and unadorned, corners are softly rounded rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with short apertures and snug internal spaces. Numerals and uppercase share the same tall, tightly packed proportions, producing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for signage, labels, and UI moments that benefit from compact width and strong presence, such as navigation headers or section titles.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining an industrial sturdiness with a contemporary, streamlined look. Its compressed stance reads confident and urgent, evoking signage, headlines, and athletic or workwear aesthetics rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing heavy strokes with rounded-rectangular geometry for a robust, modern voice. It prioritizes compactness and graphic consistency, aiming for clear silhouette recognition and strong typographic color in display use.
Because the counters are relatively tight and the letterforms are strongly condensed, the font creates a dark, continuous typographic color in lines of text. This makes it especially striking at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may need generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
