A condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm, built from straight verticals and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with squared terminals softened by small radiused corners. Counters are tight but clear, with superelliptical bowls in letters like O, D, and P, and a sturdy, geometric construction throughout. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short crossbars, and a narrow stance that maintains legibility in dense settings; figures follow the same condensed, blocky logic with smoothly rounded turns.
Works best for headlines and short-to-medium text where space is limited and impact is needed, such as posters, packaging, and brand lockups. The condensed width and sturdy forms also suit wayfinding, labels, and interface headings where a compact, high-presence sans is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and functional, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed, engineered shapes evoke signage, equipment labeling, and contemporary industrial branding rather than warmth or calligraphic personality.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with a dense, even texture. The intention appears to balance industrial clarity with softened corners for better readability and a more contemporary finish.
The design emphasizes verticality and tight sidebearings, creating strong word-shapes and efficient line lengths. Rounded corners prevent the heavy weight from feeling harsh, while the uniform stroke and compact apertures keep the texture dark and assertive.
