A condensed sans with chunky, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and softened corners, while straight stems stay rigid and parallel, creating a tight, vertical rhythm. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, giving letters like O, D, P, and e a tall, capsule-like interior. Terminals are generally blunt with subtle rounding, and joins remain clean and monoline, producing a dense, compact texture in words and paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a compact width and high visual density are advantages. It can also serve branding and labels that need an industrial, space-efficient wordmark style, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is firm and functional, with a slightly retro, industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and utilitarian labeling. Its compressed proportions and heavy presence make it feel commanding and efficient rather than delicate or editorial.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing heavy, uniform strokes with superelliptical rounding to keep the texture cohesive and the silhouette recognizable. The emphasis appears to be on bold legibility and a strong, utilitarian voice for display typography.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong due to the narrow set and tall internal apertures, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, simplified construction that favors clarity over calligraphic nuance. Numerals share the same squared-round logic, maintaining a consistent, sturdy color across mixed text.
