A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and softened corners rather than true circles. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with clean, open apertures and simple terminals; the overall color is dense and highly consistent. The lowercase stays straightforward and functional, while figures and capitals share the same tall, narrow stance for a uniform rhythm in text and display.
Works well where space is limited but strong emphasis is needed, such as headlines, posters, labels, and signage. The condensed build supports dense layouts, and the sturdy letterforms remain legible at larger sizes for brand marks and attention-grabbing titles.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that feels modern and assertive. Its compact shapes and dense weight give it a strong, sign-like presence, reading as practical, efficient, and confident rather than delicate or expressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, pairing geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with a heavy, uniform stroke to create a compact, contemporary workhorse for display-forward typography.
Round letters such as C, O, and G read as superelliptical—more squared than circular—creating a distinctive, structured texture. The condensed widths make spacing feel tight and purposeful, which can amplify impact in short lines and headings.
