A tall, tightly set sans with condensed proportions and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, with compact apertures and minimal stroke modulation, producing strong vertical rhythm and high ink density. Numerals and lowercase share the same narrow footprint, and the overall texture stays consistent across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where vertical efficiency and strong presence matter. It can work well for signage and packaging systems that need a compact, consistent voice, and for branding that aims for a modern, utilitarian feel.
The font projects a functional, no-nonsense tone with an industrial edge. Its compact geometry and firm outlines feel assertive and modern, leaning more toward signage and editorial impact than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, geometric construction. Its squared-round forms and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity, consistency, and a contemporary industrial aesthetic.
Round letters like O/C/G show noticeably squared curves and tight counters, reinforcing a technical, engineered character. In longer text the condensed spacing creates a dark, continuous column, which reads as purposeful and emphatic rather than airy.
