A condensed, upright sans with squarish, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are mostly uniform with moderate modulation, and many terminals end in blunt, slightly flared or chipped-looking edges that create a subtly distressed, inked texture. Curves tend to be flattened at the extremes, giving letters a boxed-in, engineered silhouette; counters are compact and often rectangular-oval. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy construction with short ascenders/descenders relative to the narrow proportions, and the numerals follow the same monoline, rounded-rectangle logic.
Best suited to display work where its condensed width and rugged detailing can add personality—posters, headlines, labels, and branding that aims for an industrial or retro-print feel. It can also work for short UI headings or signage where tight horizontal space is helpful, but the textured edges make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and industrial, like stenciled signage or a worn print from a mechanical process. The narrow build and squarish curves read assertive and no-nonsense, while the roughened terminals add a vintage, handmade edge rather than a sleek contemporary polish.
The design appears intended to blend a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton with a deliberately imperfect print finish. It prioritizes compact, high-impact letterforms and a sturdy texture that suggests analog production or worn signage.
Across both cases, the rhythm is tight and vertical, with strong columnar stems that hold together well in dense settings. Several shapes show small notches and slight irregularities at joins and ends, which can add character at display sizes but will also be noticeable in long passages.
