A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and a strongly condensed set width. Curves are built from squared-off, rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, with little to no modulation, producing a solid, high-density texture in lines of text. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with simplified joins and sturdy geometry that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to headlines and short display copy where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. The condensed build helps fit more characters into tight spaces, making it useful for posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand wordmarks that need strong presence without wide set widths.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial directness that reads as confident and functional. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a subtle retro-tech flavor, balancing friendliness with a strong, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and legibility in space-constrained layouts, using superelliptical construction to keep forms clear and cohesive at large sizes. Its restrained detailing and uniform stroke treatment suggest a focus on practical, system-like typography for contemporary branding and display use.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, sign-like simplicity, and the numeral set matches the same squared-curve logic for consistent color. The condensed proportions emphasize verticality, while the softened corners prevent the design from feeling sharp or brittle.
