A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled sidebearings. Curves are largely translated into rounded-rectangle forms: bowls and counters read as squared ovals with softened corners, giving the design a sturdy, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, producing strong color in text. The lowercase shows simple, functional constructions with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, while numerals follow the same squared, compact logic for a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where strong presence and compact width are assets. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and branding systems that need a bold, condensed voice with clean, rounded-rectangular forms.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and sporty. Its compressed proportions and squared curves create a confident, authoritative voice that feels suited to signage, equipment labeling, and bold editorial emphasis, with a subtle retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using squared, softened curves to stay legible and consistent at display sizes. Its simplified constructions and blunt terminals suggest a focus on clarity, durability, and a modern-industrial aesthetic.
The font’s superelliptical geometry creates distinctive round letters that feel more like softened blocks than true circles, which helps maintain clarity at large sizes and keeps word shapes uniform. The condensed build makes it efficient for tight layouts, while the heavy stroke weight emphasizes impact over delicacy.
