A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel. Vertical stems dominate, terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and joins stay clean and geometric. Counters are compact and openings are relatively tight, producing a dense, space-efficient texture in text while maintaining clear, consistent silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where condensed width helps fit long words into tight spaces. It also works effectively for signage and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, geometric voice. For extended reading, its tight counters and dense texture suggest using larger sizes and generous leading for comfort.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor. Its compact geometry and squared curves create an engineered, sign-like presence that reads confident and no-nonsense, leaning more toward display impact than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, combining industrial sturdiness with rounded-rectangle softness for a distinctive, modern-retro display look.
Letterforms show a consistent rounded-corner logic across the set, with several characters (notably in the curved letters) emphasizing verticality and narrow proportions. Numerals match the same squared-rounded geometry, keeping a cohesive rhythm in mixed alphanumeric settings.
