A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and clean, mostly squared terminals. Curves are rounded but slightly tightened, giving bowls and counters a firm, engineered feel rather than a soft geometric one. The uppercase is tall and straight-sided with simplified joins, while the lowercase keeps a modest x-height with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, space-efficient rhythm. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with open forms and strong interior counters.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and packaging where dense, bold text needs to hold shape. The sturdy construction and compact footprint also make it a good fit for signage, labels, and other display uses where space is limited and clarity is important.
The overall tone is direct and utilitarian, with a strong signage-like presence. Its compressed proportions and blunt finishing convey efficiency and practicality, reading as modern and industrial rather than playful or expressive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a compact width, pairing strong strokes with simplified, modern letterforms. The emphasis is on efficient set width, sturdy silhouettes, and clear counters for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing appears compact and the narrow set width emphasizes verticality, which helps text feel dense and emphatic. Round letters (like O/C) stay controlled and slightly squared-off in impression, while diagonal forms (V/W/X/Y) are crisp and assertive, reinforcing a sturdy, technical character.
