A compact, tall sans with a strongly condensed stance and squared-round construction. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Apertures tend to be tight, terminals are mostly flat, and curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls in letters and numerals. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with sturdy stems and consistent proportions that emphasize solidity and space efficiency.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where a dense vertical texture is an advantage. It works well for posters, packaging fronts, labels, and signage that needs to feel sturdy and direct. The compact width also makes it useful for space-constrained titling and bold interface labels when set with adequate spacing.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone with a subtle retro-industrial flavor. Its tight spacing and dark color create an assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing statements, while the rounded corners add a controlled, engineered friendliness rather than softness.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using squared-round geometry to balance strict, industrial structure with approachable curvature. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouette, uniformity, and clear, repeatable forms for display use.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls and compact counters give the design a stamped or sign-painted feel without decorative flourishes. In longer lines, the condensed proportions build a strong texture, so legibility benefits from generous tracking and clear size choices, especially where counters close down.
