A condensed sans with sturdy, even strokes and a tightly packed rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like C, O, and G a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, counters are compact, and joins stay clean and minimally tapered. The overall color is dark and consistent, with narrow proportions and straightforward, legible shapes that keep edges crisp while softening corners.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where space is tight but impact is needed. Its condensed width and heavy presence make it effective for branding, packaging, labels, and signage, especially when strong typographic hierarchy is required.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with an industrial straightforwardness that reads clearly at a distance. Its condensed stance and blocky rounds feel contemporary and efficient, projecting urgency and practicality rather than warmth or elegance.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms distinct and cohesive. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and consistency in display settings, with a controlled, modern shape language that holds up in bold typographic statements.
The uppercase set is particularly compact and uniform, while the lowercase maintains simple constructions with restrained apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and sturdy stroke presence, supporting strong emphasis in mixed text.
