A condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves throughout. The design is tall and tightly spaced, with compact counters and generally closed apertures that keep forms dense and dark. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while corners soften into consistent radiused joins, producing a sturdy, engineered texture. Overall rhythm is vertical and regimented, with narrow letterforms and strong stem presence that reads like headline display construction.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where condensed width and strong weight help maximize impact and fit. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact, assertive typographic voice, and for signage-style applications where bold, simplified shapes are beneficial.
The font communicates urgency and control: compact, forceful, and distinctly modern. Its dense shapes and tight internal spaces give it an industrial, no-nonsense tone that feels suited to high-impact messaging rather than conversational text.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, geometric construction. The rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals suggest an intention toward a contemporary, industrial aesthetic with strong repeatable shapes for identity and display typography.
Round letters retain a squarish, superellipse profile, which keeps bowls and curves from feeling airy. The lowercase maintains a strong presence with minimal differentiation in stroke character, emphasizing uniformity and a poster-like silhouette.
