A compact, tightly proportioned display sans with tall, narrow capitals and a steady monoline weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true ovals, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly flat with gently softened corners, and joins stay crisp and vertical, creating a strong, poster-like rhythm. Spacing appears fairly tight and the overall silhouette is dark and uniform, with simple, sturdy punctuation and numerals that follow the same squared-round construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other display settings where vertical economy and high impact matter. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a compact, industrial look and clear, sturdy letterforms.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a condensed, sign-lettering character that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its squared curves and heavy presence project authority and efficiency, lending a no-nonsense voice to short, impactful messages.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a geometric rounded-rectangle construction to stay bold and consistent. The goal appears to be a practical, attention-grabbing display face that maintains a rigid, engineered structure while avoiding sharp, overly aggressive corners.
The design’s consistent rounded-corner logic makes it feel cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the narrow width encourages dense line setting. The squared counters and straight-sided bowls help preserve structure at large sizes, while the overall darkness suggests it’s most effective where strong contrast against the background is desired.
