A compact, condensed sans with squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and tight internal counters that create a dense texture. Curved letters like C, O, and S read as superelliptical forms, while terminals are clean and blunt, giving the shapes a machined, sign-ready regularity. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with sturdy stems and short extenders that keep the overall silhouette controlled.
Works best where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, poster typography, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, packaging, and bold brand statements. It’s especially effective for short lines, labels, and condensed typographic systems that require a strong, consistent rhythm.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, projecting an industrial clarity suited to attention-grabbing messaging. Its condensed stance and dense letterforms feel efficient and assertive rather than friendly or playful. Overall it communicates a modern, pragmatic voice with a hint of engineered precision.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using superelliptical geometry and compact counters to maintain a cohesive, engineered look. It prioritizes uniformity and punch over delicacy, aiming for high visual efficiency in display-driven typography.
In the sample text, the tight counters and compact curves create strong word shapes at larger sizes, while the density suggests care with tracking at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same squared, robust construction, supporting consistent typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
