A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly packed counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than true geometric circles. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with short joins and simplified interior shapes that favor solidity over openness; the lowercase shows sturdy, straight-sided forms and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same chunky, condensed rhythm, with generous ink coverage and small apertures that keep the overall color very dark and even.
Best used for headlines, posters, and short, high-impact copy where its condensed weight can maximize presence in limited horizontal space. It also fits branding marks, labels, and signage that benefit from a tough, compact voice and strong figure/ground contrast.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a compressed stance that reads as urgent and emphatic. Its rounded-square construction adds a contemporary, engineered feel—more utilitarian than friendly—making it feel suited to bold statements and high-energy messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a compressed build with rounded-square geometry for a contemporary, industrial clarity. It prioritizes bold word shapes and a uniform typographic color for display-oriented communication.
At larger sizes the consistent blackness and tight counters create strong silhouette recognition, while at smaller sizes the condensed width and reduced interior space can make long passages feel dense. The font’s rhythm is driven by vertical strokes and squared curves, producing a steady, uniform texture across words and lines.
