A condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently heavy strokes. Curves resolve into soft, squared corners, creating a superelliptical feel in bowls and arches, while vertical stems stay straight and dominant. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall rhythm is tight with short apertures and controlled spacing. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same narrow, blocky logic for strong alignment in columns.
Best suited to display applications where space is tight but strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and signage. It can also work for compact wordmarks and UI labels at larger sizes where the condensed proportions and tight apertures remain clear.
The tone is industrial and slightly retro, evoking signage and mechanical labeling where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy. Its compressed width and softened corners balance toughness with a friendly, engineered smoothness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, using superelliptical geometry to keep forms cohesive and recognizable. It prioritizes compactness, uniformity, and a sturdy, engineered character for modern display typography.
Letterforms lean on verticality, with minimal modulation and few calligraphic cues, giving a crisp, fabricated look. Rounded terminals and corners prevent the heavy weight from feeling overly harsh, especially in larger display sizes.
