A condensed sans with compact proportions and uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared, rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are generally flat with softened corners, and joins stay tight and controlled, producing a steady vertical rhythm. The lowercase is simple and workmanlike, with single-storey forms where expected, and figures that are tall, narrow, and strongly aligned.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks where condensed, high-impact letterforms are needed. It works especially well for signage, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a compact footprint and sturdy, engineered shapes. In longer text, it will create a dense, emphatic color best used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is direct and functional, with an industrial, engineered character. Its rounded-square geometry adds a contemporary, slightly retro technical flavor while staying straightforward and no-nonsense. The dark, compact silhouettes read as confident and attention-forward.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed structure with rounded-square construction for a distinctive, industrial-modern voice. The consistent stroke behavior and simplified forms suggest an emphasis on clarity, repeatable rhythm, and strong typographic texture in display settings.
The narrow set width and tight interior shapes create strong texture in lines of text, especially in uppercase. Rounded corners keep the density from feeling harsh, while the squared curves maintain a constructed, display-oriented look.
