A compact, vertically oriented sans with dense proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves feel squarish rather than truly circular, and counters are tight. The rhythm is highly vertical with short crossbars and minimal horizontal spread, producing a stacked, architectural texture in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, and the overall drawing stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where a tall, compact footprint is useful. It also works well for signage, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that need high impact in limited horizontal space.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a streamlined, industrial feel. Its condensed build and blocky rounding evoke signage and utilitarian labeling, reading as confident and no-nonsense rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and presence within a narrow measure, using squared-round construction to stay modern and systematic. It prioritizes bold display clarity and a consistent, industrial rhythm across the set.
At display sizes the tight apertures and condensed spacing create strong texture and impact. The superelliptical rounding keeps the shapes from feeling harsh while still maintaining a rigid, engineered character.
