A compact sans with tightly set proportions and a strong, even stroke presence. Curves are smooth and economical, with rounded bowls that stay fairly closed in letters like a, e, and s, while straight strokes remain clean and vertical. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared off, and the overall drawing favors simplicity over calligraphic modulation. Counters are relatively small for the weight, creating a dense, high-impact texture in text, while numerals and capitals maintain consistent widths and sturdy, stable silhouettes.
Well-suited to headlines and short bursts of text where compact width and strong presence help maximize space. It can work effectively for signage, packaging, and UI labels that need a sturdy, legible sans with a dense typographic color, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, leaning toward an industrial, utilitarian feel. Its compact rhythm and solid color give it a confident voice suited to straightforward communication rather than decorative expression.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans that stays clear and robust under bold setting. Its simplified forms, closed apertures, and blunt terminals suggest an emphasis on practical readability and a contemporary, workmanlike aesthetic.
The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing a simplified, contemporary construction. Round characters like O and Q read as vertically oriented ovals, and the Q features a clear, outward tail that distinguishes it cleanly in display sizes.
