A compact, heavy sans with squared-off construction softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are consistently thick, with tight apertures and small counters that emphasize a dense, economical footprint. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while verticals dominate, giving the design a rigid, engineered rhythm. Terminals are clean and flat, spacing appears snug, and the overall texture is dark and uniform across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments that need bold presence in limited horizontal space. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style applications where a condensed, high-density texture helps information feel immediate and forceful.
The font projects a strong, no-nonsense tone—functional and industrial rather than friendly or decorative. Its condensed heft feels authoritative and efficient, suggesting signage and labeling aesthetics where impact matters more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with minimal width, using squared-round geometry to stay legible and consistent while maintaining a strong, industrial voice.
Round elements stay noticeably squared, creating a consistent “machined” character throughout. The numeral set matches the same compact proportions and blunt detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, high-impact typographic color in both headlines and short text.
