A condensed, heavy sans with a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction: rounds resolve into rounded-rectangle curves and counters tend toward vertical ovals. Strokes are largely uniform with clean, blunt terminals and tight internal apertures, giving letters a compact, high-density texture. Uppercase forms are tall and rigid, while lowercase follows the same engineered geometry with simple joins and minimal modulation; bowls and shoulders stay boxy rather than circular. Numerals echo the same narrow, blocky rhythm, reading strongly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact are desirable—posters, signage, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or navigation elements when a compact, commanding voice is needed, but the tight apertures favor larger sizes over extended reading.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial edge that suggests signage, labeling, and machinery. Its condensed massing and squared curves feel controlled and disciplined rather than playful, projecting confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using squared superellipse forms to keep counters controlled and the silhouette crisp. It prioritizes a strong, industrial display personality while maintaining a coherent system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The family’s visual identity comes from the consistent rounded-corner rectangle logic—noticeable in C/G/O/Q and in the squared bowls of B/P/R—paired with very tight counters that increase darkness in longer text. Spacing appears designed for strong vertical rhythm, producing a compact, poster-like color in paragraphs.
