A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with softened corners and oval counters that keep the forms from feeling rigid despite the dense width. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and joins stay simple and vertical, producing a steady, poster-ready rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed stance, giving the overall texture a dark, continuous color in text.
Works best for headlines, short statements, and high-impact titling where a compact width is useful. Suitable for packaging, labels, and signage that need strong presence in limited horizontal space, and for branding systems aiming for an industrial/retro-modern voice.
The face reads as utilitarian and assertive, with a slightly retro signage flavor. Its rounded squareness adds approachability while the narrow, weighty build keeps the tone confident and efficient.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, pairing sturdy strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry to stay friendly while remaining highly legible and attention-grabbing at display sizes.
The condensed fit and high stroke density make word shapes strongly vertical, which increases impact but can reduce breathing room in long passages. The rounded geometry is consistent across bowls and corners, helping maintain cohesion at display sizes.
