A compact sans with tall proportions and dense spacing, built from squared-off forms softened by rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with minimal modulation and an overall vertical rhythm. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, while counters stay tight, giving the face a solid, engineered look. Joins and terminals are clean and direct, balancing blunt geometry with subtle rounding to keep large text from feeling overly harsh.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and signage where space is limited but impact is needed. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from a compact, industrial voice. For longer text, it will perform best with generous leading and careful tracking to counter its dense texture.
The font conveys a strong, no-nonsense tone that feels contemporary and functional. Its condensed, weighty presence reads assertive and efficient, suggesting signage and editorial emphasis rather than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width, using geometric, rounded-rect forms to stay consistent and legible at large sizes. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a steady rhythm to create a confident display voice.
At display sizes the narrow set and tight counters produce a dark color and high visual density. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in bowls and shoulders, which helps maintain consistency across letters and numerals while preserving a slightly softened, approachable edge.
