A condensed geometric sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and terminals are predominantly squared-off with softened corners. Curves resolve into superelliptic forms, giving bowls and counters a boxy, engineered feel; apertures tend to be tight and counters relatively compact. The lowercase shows a modest x-height with sturdy stems, while numerals and capitals maintain a tall, uniform rhythm suited to stacked lines and tight settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and signage where compact width and strong vertical rhythm help fit more characters per line. It can also work well in branding and packaging for tech, industrial, or retro-inspired themes, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distinctive squared curves stay crisp.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro-futurist, like labeling on equipment or signage from a modernist or sci‑fi context. Its compact width and dense color create a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as functional and technical rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to combine an engineered, modular geometry with approachable rounded corners, delivering high-impact display typography that feels technical and space-efficient. Its consistent, built-from-forms construction suggests an aim for a coherent system look across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Distinctive angular joins and occasional pointed interior notches (notably in letters like V/W) add a mechanical edge, while the softened corners prevent the design from feeling harsh. The condensed proportions emphasize verticality, and the heavy weight can cause smaller counters to close up at very small sizes, favoring display use.
