A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled internal space. Letterforms are built from straight verticals and rounded-rectangle curves, producing squared counters and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with crisp terminals and a slightly engineered, cut-from-solid feel; several joins and apertures read as narrowly opened, reinforcing the condensed rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry a consistent, columnar stance that keeps lines looking dense and impactful.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where a condensed footprint is useful and maximum impact is desired. It also fits signage and packaging applications that benefit from sturdy, legible forms and an industrial, engineered aesthetic.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a distinctly industrial, poster-ready presence. Its rounded-square geometry adds a retro-tech flavor that feels mechanical rather than friendly, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, or punchy display settings.
Likely intended as a high-impact display sans that compresses width while maintaining strong structure and clear, repeatable geometry. The rounded-rectangle construction points to a goal of combining hard, industrial rhythm with softened corners for a distinctive, modern-retro voice.
The design’s narrow apertures and dense counters make it most effective at larger sizes, where the squared bowls and rounded corners can be clearly appreciated. The overall texture is dark and even, creating strong word-shapes and high visual impact in headlines.
