A compact, heavy sans with tightly compressed proportions and a tall lowercase structure. Shapes are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: curves stay squared-off at the extremes, corners are softened, and counters tend toward narrow, vertical openings. Strokes remain broadly uniform, with minimal modulation, producing a dense, dark texture. The overall rhythm is vertical and columnar, with short crossbars and compact bowls that keep most letters visually narrow and upright.
Best suited to large-scale settings where compact width and strong weight are advantages, such as headlines, posters, labels, and branding marks that need to feel bold in limited space. It can also work for short bursts of text on signage or UI callouts, but the tight apertures and dense color are most effective when sizes are generous and tracking is considered.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, combining a factory-signage directness with a slightly softened, retro feel from the rounded corners. It reads as assertive and high-impact without feeling sharp or delicate, making it well suited to bold, no-nonsense messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superellipse-like rounding to soften a fundamentally blocky, industrial structure. It prioritizes bold presence, vertical emphasis, and consistent, sturdy forms for display-focused typography.
Uppercase forms show a strong, consistent width discipline, while lowercase and figures maintain the same compressed stance and sturdy weight. Openings in letters like C, S, and e are relatively tight, which increases density and emphasizes the font’s punch at larger sizes.
