A condensed sans with a tall, compact stance and consistently heavy vertical strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off geometry with softened corners. Stroke endings are largely blunt and uniform, with small apertures and tight interior spaces that create a dense, continuous texture in text. The overall construction favors straight-sided stems and controlled, simplified curves, producing an efficient, mechanical rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where a compact, high-impact condensed style saves space while staying visually assertive. It can also work for signage, labels, and logotypes that benefit from a technical, industrial flavor and a consistent, squared-soft geometry.
The tone reads industrial and slightly retro, with an engineered, sign-painting/labeling feel. Its narrow proportions and squared-soft geometry convey toughness and efficiency, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result feels at home in utilitarian, urban, and technical contexts where impact and economy of space matter.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using superellipse-based curves to unify the family with a distinctive squared-yet-rounded signature. The emphasis on tall proportions, blunt terminals, and simplified shapes points to a utilitarian display face intended for strong branding and clear, structured typographic blocks.
The condensed width and tight counters suggest best performance at display sizes or in short text where clarity isn’t compromised by density. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, compact logic, creating a consistent, structured voice suitable for systems that rely on strong vertical emphasis.
