A compact, heavy sans with tightly drawn proportions and a distinctly squared-off, superelliptical construction. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded-rectangle counters and corners that keep the overall texture dense while avoiding sharp brutality. The caps are tall and narrow, and the lowercase shows a high x-height with short ascenders/descenders, producing a strong horizontal rhythm in text. Details like the squared terminals, firm shoulders, and pragmatic, open apertures emphasize clarity at distance and maintain consistent color across lines.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that needs a compact footprint. It also works well for short, bold informational text such as signage, labels, and section headers where strong presence and tight spacing are desirable.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary and built for impact. Its compressed stance and blocky geometry give it a confident, poster-forward energy while staying neutral enough for informational use when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical forms and uniform stroke weight to create a stable, highly legible silhouette. Its tall lowercase and compact capitals suggest an emphasis on display readability and a consistent, engineered texture across mixed-case settings.
Round letters (like O/C) feel more like softened rectangles than circles, and the numerals follow the same compact, engineered logic. The overall impression is of a display-oriented condensed sans that holds together as a solid black mass in headlines and signage-style settings.
