A compact, tall-proportioned sans with heavy, even strokes and subtly rounded corners that give the forms a soft-rectangular (superellipse) feel. Curves stay tight and controlled, while verticals dominate, creating a firm, compressed rhythm. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrow, with straightforward terminals and minimal modulation. The overall silhouette reads clean and geometric, prioritizing strong vertical structure and consistent, blocky spacing.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a modern, utilitarian aesthetic, especially when space is limited horizontally.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its condensed stance and sturdy shapes feel efficient and purposeful rather than delicate, projecting clarity and confidence in headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and economy of space through condensed proportions, strong vertical stress, and simplified, geometric construction. The softened corners temper the rigidity just enough to keep the texture approachable while maintaining a decisively modern, engineered feel.
Round characters (like O/C/G) keep a squared-off roundness, and joins in letters like M/N/K feel crisp and engineered. Numerals follow the same compact logic, appearing solid and signage-friendly with clear differentiation at display sizes.
