A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and squared, superelliptical curves. Counters are tight and openings are controlled, producing dense black shapes with a strong vertical rhythm. Round letters like O and C read as rounded rectangles, while joins and terminals stay blunt and clean, emphasizing a constructed, modular feel. Lowercase forms are tall with short ascenders and compact bowls, and the numerals follow the same blocky, tightly fit geometry for a consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. It can also work well for brand wordmarks and UI labels when a dense, engineered look is needed, especially in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, leaning toward an industrial, contemporary voice. Its compressed proportions and sturdy shapes feel direct and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro technical flavor reminiscent of labeling and signage. The uniform weight and rounded-rectangle curves add a controlled friendliness without losing impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow width while maintaining clean, geometric construction. By using rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals, it aims for a modern, utilitarian style that remains distinctive and legible in display-driven applications.
At text sizes the narrow set and tight counters create a dark color, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect readability. The font’s distinctive superelliptical rounds and blunt terminals give it a recognizable silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
