A tightly compressed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are squared-off and softened at the corners, giving counters and bowls a pill-like geometry rather than true circles. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation, creating a dense, poster-like texture and strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase stays compact and sturdy with short ascenders/descenders and closed-in apertures, while the numerals and capitals maintain consistent width discipline for a packed, columnar feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It can work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a condensed, high-contrast-in-size silhouette and an industrial/retro flavor. For longer copy, it’s more appropriate at larger sizes where the tight counters and compressed rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian—more industrial and display-driven than neutral. Its compressed stance and softened rectangular curves evoke vintage signage and poster typography, while the clean, monoline build also reads as modern and technical. The result feels forceful and efficient, with a slightly retro, machine-made character.
The design appears intended as a space-saving display sans that maximizes visual impact through condensed proportions, heavy monoline strokes, and rounded-rectangle shaping. Its consistent geometry suggests a focus on strong repeatable forms that read quickly in bold titles and attention-grabbing applications.
Spacing and internal counters appear intentionally tight, increasing darkness and impact at text sizes. Several forms rely on vertical stems and squared curves, producing a strong, rhythmic pattern in headlines; this same density can reduce differentiation in smaller settings, especially where apertures are narrow.
