A compact, heavy sans with geometric construction and squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes are uniform with minimal contrast, terminals are mostly blunt, and internal counters are tight, creating a dense, emphatic texture. Round letters such as O/C/G and numerals lean toward superelliptical forms, while diagonals (A/V/W/Y) are steep and sturdy. Lowercase forms are simple and functional, with a single-storey a and g, short extenders, and generally firm, squared curves that keep the rhythm consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and impactful brand statements where a dense, compact voice is beneficial. It also works well for signage and packaging that need clear, sturdy letterforms with a contemporary geometric flavor.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a confident, workmanlike presence. Its softened corners add a touch of approachability, balancing the strong weight with a friendly, contemporary feel.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving a clean, geometric identity. The superelliptical rounds and blunt terminals aim for a contemporary, industrial clarity that remains approachable at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the tight apertures and compact proportions produce a solid, poster-like color that favors headlines over long reading. Numerals are straightforward and robust, matching the letterforms’ squared-round geometry and maintaining an even, disciplined cadence across mixed-case settings.
