A compact, tall sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a distinctly rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves are tightly controlled and corners are softened, giving bowls and counters a squarish, engineered feel rather than circular. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, apertures are relatively closed, and the overall rhythm is dense with minimal interior whitespace. The uppercase and numerals read like vertically stretched blocks, while lowercase keeps a functional, simplified build with consistent stroke width and restrained detailing.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where a dense, commanding texture is desirable. It works well for posters, signage, packaging labels, and branding that needs an industrial or retro-technical voice, and it can be effective for numbered systems or titling where tall numerals add presence.
The font conveys a firm, industrial tone—mechanical and no-nonsense—tempered by rounded corners that keep it approachable rather than harsh. Its compressed, towering stance suggests urgency and authority, evoking vintage display lettering seen in signage and utilitarian labeling.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with heavy strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry. Its simplified, monoline construction prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent texture, aiming for bold legibility and a distinctive, engineered personality in display contexts.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls and counters create strong texture at word level, especially in all-caps settings. The density and tight apertures can reduce clarity at small sizes, but they amplify impact in larger applications where the bold silhouette dominates.
