A compact sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are simplified into near-circular bowls with clean joins, while straight strokes stay rigid and vertical, producing a strong, poster-like rhythm. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, ink-heavy color. Terminals read as blunt and squared-off, and the overall spacing feels economical, emphasizing a tall, compressed silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium headlines where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed, such as posters, signage, and bold branding lockups. It can also work for packaging and labels where space is tight and legibility must remain robust at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense voice that feels industrial and slightly retro. Its condensed, block-forward shapes convey urgency and confidence, leaning more toward display impact than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using simplified geometric construction and blunt terminals to keep shapes sturdy and highly visible. The consistent weight and compact rhythm suggest an emphasis on clarity and authority in display settings.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and compact, and the lowercase maintains the same sturdy construction with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same dense, geometric logic, staying visually consistent with the letterforms in weight and width.
