A condensed, geometric sans with squared silhouettes softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, giving the face a sturdy, block-like color. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and rounded rectangles, while joins and terminals stay crisp and straight, creating a disciplined, modular rhythm. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and spacing is tight enough to read as efficient and space-saving without feeling cramped in the sample setting.
Best suited to display applications where a strong, condensed voice is helpful: posters, headlines, sports or event branding, and compact logotypes. The sturdy, squared-round construction also works well for signage, packaging, and labels where space economy and high visual impact are priorities.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, with a subtle retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, and display typography. Its compact width and firm, squared forms project confidence and practicality, making the text feel direct and no-nonsense rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent squared-round geometry for a unified, system-like look. Its simplified shapes and firm stroke weight suggest a focus on clarity and impact in short text, branding, and functional display settings.
Round letters like O/C/G and numerals follow a rounded-rectangle logic, producing a consistent ‘squared-round’ texture across the alphabet. The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions and keeps apertures fairly controlled, reinforcing the font’s compact, engineered feel. Numerals are bold and blocky with the same softened-corner geometry, reading well at display sizes.
