A compact, heavy sans with tightly fit proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps counters small and strokes dominant. Letterforms are built from squared-off, rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and broad, flat terminals that create a sturdy, poster-like texture. Curves (C, G, O) read as squarish superellipses, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are steep and blunt, reinforcing a dense vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same chunky, simplified construction for consistent color in headlines and short strings.
Best used for headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing typography where dense, compact lettering is an advantage. It also suits packaging and branding that wants an industrial or retro-compressed feel, and works well for signage or labels when set with adequate size and breathing room.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compressed, no-nonsense presence that feels suited to bold statements. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a slightly retro, industrial flavor—more friendly than purely mechanical, but still tough and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle forms and blunt terminals to keep the silhouette bold, consistent, and easily repeatable across the alphabet and numerals.
The small counters and narrow apertures increase impact at large sizes but can make interior spaces close up as size decreases. The design’s strong vertical emphasis and tight spacing produce high visual density, which is especially noticeable in all-caps settings and long lines of display text.
