A compact, tall-proportioned sans with soft, rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes stay essentially monolinear, with squared terminals eased by rounded corners and tight interior counters. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and arches, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel; joins are clean and the overall rhythm is vertical and space-efficient. Uppercase forms are narrow and columnar, while lowercase keeps simple, functional shapes with minimal modulation and a restrained, consistent texture.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and signage where vertical economy and strong silhouettes matter. It also fits packaging and branding that benefits from a compact, industrial voice, and works effectively for labels, wayfinding, and short UI/overlay strings when set with generous spacing.
The font communicates an industrial, no-nonsense attitude with a subtle retro signage flavor. Its rounded corners keep the tone friendly enough for consumer-facing work, but the compressed stance and blocky shapes lean toward authority and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to keep a consistent, modern-industrial voice. Its simplified forms and sturdy stroke presence suggest a focus on clarity and uniformity for display applications.
The design’s tight apertures and compact counters create strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes, while the condensed build can make dense passages feel heavy if set too small. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a coherent, display-oriented system.
