A compact, heavy sans with monoline construction and tightly compressed proportions. Strokes terminate in rounded-rectangle ends, and counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving letters a tall, slot-like internal rhythm. Curves and joins are simplified into squarish superellipse forms, with smooth rounding at corners rather than sharp angles. The overall texture is dense and dark, with minimal modulation and a consistent, engineered geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short lines where density and impact are priorities, such as posters, branding wordmarks, packaging fronts, and signage. It can work for UI labels or navigation in small doses, but the tight apertures and heavy color are most effective at display sizes rather than extended text.
The face conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly industrial and retro display flavor. Its compressed stance and rounded-rect geometry feel mechanical and purposeful, like labeling, equipment markings, or poster titling. The mood is punchy and attention-forward rather than delicate or literary.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence within limited horizontal space, using a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms cohesive and modern-industrial. The emphasis is on a strong silhouette, compact word shapes, and a uniform, engineered rhythm that holds up in bold display settings.
The uppercase set reads especially strong and uniform, while the lowercase maintains the same narrow, vertical cadence and simplified bowls. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic and appear designed for impact in large sizes, with compact apertures and sturdy stems.
