A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with tight counters and short apertures that keep the texture dense at display sizes. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and terminals, while joins stay crisp, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. The overall silhouette is tall and vertical, with assertive forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display work such as posters, bold headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a condensed, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work for short signage or labels that benefit from strong vertical emphasis and a controlled, geometric look.
The font projects an industrial, techno-forward tone with a subtle retro-futurist flavor. Its blocky, rounded geometry feels disciplined and mechanical, giving headlines a confident, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectilinear construction to combine a technical, modern personality with approachable softness at the corners.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, reinforcing a solid “wall of type” effect in text settings. Rounded corners keep the weight from feeling overly harsh, while the narrow proportions help long headlines fit into constrained layouts without losing presence.
