A condensed, heavy-stroke sans with compact proportions and a tight, efficient rhythm. Curves are squared-off into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, engineered feel rather than purely circular geometry. Stroke endings are blunt and clean, with consistent weight and minimal modulation, producing crisp silhouettes at display sizes. Letterforms read tall and firmly structured, with relatively narrow apertures and compact interior spaces that reinforce a dense, vertical texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where a compact footprint and strong typographic color are assets. It works well for branding and packaging that need an industrial, straightforward tone, and for signage or labels where vertical emphasis and bold presence help content stand out.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its squared rounds and compressed stance suggest practicality and modern utility, while the heavy color lends an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using squared, superelliptical curves to create a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes solidity and clarity at larger sizes, aiming for a confident, utilitarian voice in display typography.
The numerals match the letters in tall, compact proportions and firm terminals, supporting a consistent, sign-like texture. In running text the condensed width and strong weight create a solid typographic color that favors short lines and headlines over long passages.
