A compact, tall-proportioned sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a pronounced rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves resolve into squared bowls with softened corners, and counters are tight and vertical, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Joins and terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with occasional small notches and cut-ins that add a machined feel. Numerals and capitals read especially rigid and columnar, while lowercase maintains a similarly condensed rhythm with minimal modulation.
Best suited to large-scale display work where its compact width and heavy mass can maximize impact—posters, headlines, event graphics, and bold branding. It can also work for labels and packaging where a sturdy, industrial tone is desired, especially in short bursts of text.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial voice that feels engineered rather than handwritten. Its blocky silhouettes and tight counters project urgency and strength, lending a confident, attention-grabbing presence in display settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint, using superelliptical bowls and blunt terminals to create a cohesive, engineered aesthetic. The added cut-ins and notches suggest an intent to evoke machined signage and retro display typography while staying clean and sans-driven.
The design’s narrow internal apertures and compressed spacing create a dark, continuous typographic color, which can feel impactful at large sizes but visually dense in long passages. Distinctive interior cutouts and the rounded-rect geometry give it a strong, consistent identity across letters and figures.
