A compact, heavy sans with a tall, compressed silhouette and even, low-modulation strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight-cut, with occasional gentle rounding at corners; joins are firm and minimally tapered. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and slightly squared counters that keep texture dense and controlled in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where compact width and strong presence are useful—headlines, posters, wayfinding/signage, packaging panels, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a condensed, high-impact texture is desired.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense voice—confident, pragmatic, and slightly retro. Its condensed mass and squared-round construction feel engineered and functional, lending a sense of urgency and authority without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength in limited horizontal space, using superellipse-based shapes and blunt terminals to maintain clarity and consistency. The emphasis is on punchy legibility, a uniform typographic color, and a disciplined, engineered feel appropriate for modern industrial or retro-utility contexts.
In the sample text, the dense set creates strong headline impact and a consistent dark color across long lines. The numerals and capitals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, supporting a cohesive, signage-like personality.
