A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and softly rounded corners that give the contours a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and broad curves, with minimal modulation and mostly flat terminals. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be restrained, producing a dense, high-ink texture that holds together as strong typographic blocks. The figures match the letters in weight and footprint, keeping a consistent, compact rhythm across mixed settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where space is limited and impact is required. It also fits packaging and signage applications that benefit from compact width and a clear, sturdy silhouette, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence and a contemporary, space-efficient presence. Its rounded geometry adds a controlled friendliness, but the dominant impression remains punchy and authoritative rather than playful.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, combining robust strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry for a modern, engineered look. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals while maintaining a distinctive, compact voice.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle construction becomes a defining stylistic signature, while in text lines the condensed width and tight internal space create a compact, poster-like color. The uppercase reads particularly strong, with a uniform, disciplined cadence well-suited to short emphatic messages.
