A heavy condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently thick strokes. Curves resolve into soft superellipse corners, while interior counters are tight and often vertically oriented, creating a dense, compact texture. Many joins are simplified into blunt terminals and notches, giving several letters a subtly cut-out, almost stencil-like feel. The overall rhythm is vertical and uniform, with narrow apertures and compact spacing that emphasizes a tall, columnar silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display roles where strong vertical presence and compact width are advantages, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and wayfinding or product labeling. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, labeling, and display typography built for impact. Its compact forms and squared rounding feel mechanical and purposeful rather than friendly, projecting confidence and urgency in headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a tight horizontal footprint, using superelliptical geometry and simplified joins to create a distinctive, engineered look. The consistent stroke weight and closed-in counters suggest an emphasis on bold legibility and graphic impact over long-form reading.
The narrow apertures and small counters make it most effective at larger sizes; in smaller settings the dense black shapes can begin to close up. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect logic, keeping the overall color consistent in mixed alphanumeric lines.
