A condensed, heavy sans with a rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) construction throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear, with soft corners and flattened curves that give counters a squarish feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, emphasizing tall stems and tight sidebearings. Numerals and caps follow the same boxy-rounded geometry, producing a consistent, sturdy texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and signage where compact width and high visual impact are useful. It can work for short text bursts, callouts, and titling, especially in layouts that need a dense, vertical, space-efficient voice.
The tone feels industrial and assertive, with a slightly retro, sign-paint and machinery-label vibe. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the tight proportions and solid blacks project confidence and urgency. Overall it reads as utilitarian and tech-adjacent rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to keep forms consistent and highly legible at larger sizes. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive, engineered feel suited to bold editorial and branding contexts.
Round letters (like O/C) lean toward squared bowls, and joins are smoothly radiused, creating a continuous “molded” look. The design keeps strong silhouette clarity at display sizes, where its compact width and dense stroke mass become a defining feature.
