A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a predominantly monoline stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with occasional subtly chamfered joins, producing a dense, poster-like silhouette and consistent vertical rhythm. Lowercase features straightforward, workmanlike constructions with short ascenders/descenders and relatively closed apertures, reinforcing the compact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm help text stay impactful. It also fits wayfinding or packaging applications that benefit from condensed, high-contrast-from-background letter shapes at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and practical, with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a slightly retro, signage-like flavor, balancing toughness with a controlled, friendly softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow width while maintaining a consistent, geometric softness. The superellipse-like rounding suggests a goal of making a dense, industrial headline style feel more approachable and contemporary for display typography.
In the samples, the narrow letterforms and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes and high ink coverage, especially in lowercase runs. The figures and capitals read as sturdy blocks, and the overall spacing feels designed for dense headlines rather than airy layouts.
