A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently blunt terminals. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and counters, while vertical strokes dominate, producing a tall, narrow silhouette across both cases and figures. Stroke weight is steady with minimal modulation, and joins stay clean and simple; the overall texture is dense but orderly. Spacing reads slightly tight in longer lines, reinforcing a strong, economical rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where space is limited and impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and product labeling. It can also work for UI badges or data-heavy callouts where narrow widths help fit content, though longer paragraphs may feel dense.
The tone is practical and assertive, with a faint retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling and functional display typography. Its squared, softened geometry feels tough and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability in tight horizontal space using a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle skeleton. Its consistent stroke weight and restrained detailing suggest a focus on robust reproduction across print and screen while keeping a distinctive condensed voice.
Round letters like O/Q show a squarish bowl, and many forms favor straight-sided geometry over fully circular curves. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, helping maintain a consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
