A tall, tightly condensed sans with largely uniform stroke weight and a pronounced rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and terminals, giving round letters a superellipse feel rather than true circles. Counters are narrow and often quite enclosed, while vertical stems stay straight and dominant, producing a compact, high-contrast silhouette at the word level despite minimal stroke modulation. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, architectural proportions, maintaining an even rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging labels, wayfinding, and logotypes. It can also work for compact subheads or callouts when a dense, vertical rhythm is desirable, but the narrow counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The overall tone is firm and functional, with a subtly retro-industrial flavor. Its compressed proportions and squared curves read as efficient and engineered, lending a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in signage and display settings.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in constrained horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, geometric voice. By combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular curves and consistent stroke weight, it aims for a distinctive, engineered look that stays clean and repeatable across letters and numerals.
The font’s tight internal spacing and closed forms create strong texture blocks in lines of text, especially in all caps. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid geometry, keeping the look approachable while still decidedly mechanical.
