A condensed, heavy sans with squarish, superelliptical curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, producing a solid, poster-like color. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while terminals tend to finish with crisp, flat cuts and occasional angled joins that add a slightly chiseled feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact apertures; counters are tight, and the overall spacing feels economical and vertical.
This font is well-suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a dense, high-impact presence is desired. It works particularly well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from an engineered, retro-industrial voice, and it can also fit sports or product labeling where compact width helps conserve space.
The face projects an industrial, utilitarian confidence with a retro edge—like stamped signage or athletic branding. Its compact proportions and squared-round forms create a tough, engineered tone that feels direct and energetic rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangular geometry, prioritizing strong silhouette and consistent texture. Its tall lowercase and tight counters suggest an emphasis on efficient, space-saving display typography with a distinctive industrial personality.
Numerals echo the same squarish roundness and compact counters, keeping texture consistent in mixed alphanumeric settings. The glyph set shown leans on simplified geometry and uniform weight, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes while giving text a strong, blocky rhythm.
