A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and consistently softened corners, giving many letters a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) silhouette. Curves are tight and controlled, with small apertures and compact counters that keep the texture dark and even. Vertical stems dominate, horizontal bars are short and sturdy, and joins are clean and minimally modeled, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy; the dots on i/j are round and prominent, and figures are tall with the same squared-round construction.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and short signage lines. The dense, squared-round forms hold up well in bold graphic compositions and can deliver a clear industrial or retro-technical identity when set with generous tracking.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, and mid-century display typography. Its compact width and dense color read as confident and forceful, lending an energetic, sporty edge in headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual strength in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance hardness with approachability. Its simplified construction and consistent stroke behavior suggest an intention toward bold, functional display typography with a controlled, engineered look.
The design leans on straight-sided forms with rounded terminals, so letters maintain a consistent, modular feel across the set. Several characters use narrow openings and flat-topped/flat-sided shaping, which emphasizes a streamlined, condensed presence and helps create strong word shapes at larger sizes.
