A compact, tall-proportioned sans with heavy, even stroke weight and minimal contrast. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: straight-sided verticals, softened corners, and squarish bowls that keep counters tight and consistent. Terminals are blunt and clean, and curves transition quickly into flats, creating a rigid, engineered rhythm. Spacing is economical, with narrow internal apertures and a strong vertical emphasis across both upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where density and impact matter: headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a compact wordmark or a strong typographic voice, especially where space is limited.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a tightly packed, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-corner construction adds a friendly, mid-century/industrial warmth while still reading as mechanical and controlled. The result feels like signage and labeling—confident, direct, and built for impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay legible and stylistically unified. It prioritizes a strong, vertical texture and consistent geometry for punchy, space-efficient typography.
Lowercase shapes lean toward simplified, single-storey constructions and short extenders, maintaining a uniform blocky texture in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, giving tables and headlines a cohesive, stamped look.
