A compact, condensed sans with heavy vertical stems and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, with corners softly radiused rather than fully circular, giving round letters a superelliptical feel. Stroke contrast is minimal and the texture is dense, with short apertures and tight interior counters that reinforce a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, producing a uniform, column-like color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—posters, signage, packaging callouts, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for subheads and UI labels when space is constrained and a firm, engineered voice is needed.
The font reads as pragmatic and assertive, with an industrial straightforwardness. Its squared rounding and dense set convey a contemporary, no-nonsense tone that feels engineered rather than expressive, leaning toward headline urgency and functional signage clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in tight horizontal space, using squared, softly rounded shapes to keep the tone modern and controlled. Its consistent, low-contrast construction suggests a focus on reproducible, utilitarian letterforms that hold up at display sizes and in strong, high-contrast applications.
In the samples, uppercase forms appear tall and compact with minimal embellishment, while lowercase maintains a tall, condensed presence with small, controlled counters. Numerals match the letterforms’ blocky, rounded-rectangle logic, supporting cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
