A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a compact footprint. The design mixes straight-sided verticals with rounded bowls, producing a firm, rectangular rhythm in text while keeping counters relatively tight. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins read sturdy rather than delicate. The lowercase is compact with simple, workmanlike forms, and numerals follow the same dense, high-impact construction for consistent color across lines.
Well suited to headlines and short statements where strong presence and space economy are priorities. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a compact, assertive wordmark, as well as signage or labels where quick scanning is important.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, prioritizing clarity and impact over softness. Its compressed proportions and dense texture give it an industrial, poster-forward voice that feels confident and functional.
The design intent reads as a high-impact condensed sans meant to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space. It aims for a pragmatic, consistent texture that stays legible while projecting a strong, modern utility aesthetic.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, creating a solid typographic block in longer text. Round letters retain a slightly squared feel due to the condensed structure, and the overall set maintains a consistent, disciplined silhouette from capitals through numerals.
