A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared, softened corners, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with minimal contrast and an overall vertical, tightly packed rhythm; punctuation and dots appear square, reinforcing the geometric, engineered look. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow, while lowercase remains straightforward and legible with simple single-storey shapes and sturdy joins.
Best suited to headlines and short lines where a dense, high-impact texture is desired, such as posters, packaging callouts, signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work in tight horizontal spaces thanks to its condensed proportions, especially for labels, badges, and emphatic UI or editorial display moments.
The typeface feels bold and assertive, with a utilitarian, industrial character and a clear retro display edge. Its softened rectangular geometry adds friendliness to an otherwise tough, compressed silhouette, producing a vibe that’s confident, sporty, and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining a monoline heft with rounded-rectangle geometry for a modernized retro display look. The emphasis appears to be on strong readability at larger sizes and a consistent, industrial rhythm across letters and figures.
Counters are relatively small for the weight, which boosts density and impact in headlines. The numerals follow the same squared-round construction and read as robust, signage-like figures, maintaining consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
