A compact, heavy sans with a tightly condensed footprint and broadly uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: straight verticals and horizontals meet through softened corners, while bowls and counters read as squarish superellipses. Apertures are generally narrow and vertical, creating a dense rhythm, and terminals are blunt with minimal modulation. The overall texture is firm and even, with slightly mechanical curves and clear, simplified constructions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a dense, punchy presence is desirable. It can also work well for signage and short UI labels that benefit from compact width and strong letterforms, especially when set with a bit of extra tracking.
The font projects a sturdy, utilitarian tone with a subtle retro-industrial flavor. Its rounded corners soften the mass, but the compressed proportions and blocky shapes keep it confident and no-nonsense—well suited to signage-like statements and impactful headings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure, using rounded-rect geometry to keep forms contemporary yet approachable. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes prioritize a strong, uniform texture for display typography.
The condensed width and tight internal spaces create strong color at display sizes, while small apertures and compact counters may feel more congested in long passages. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, reinforcing a consistent, engineered look across mixed alphanumeric settings.
