A compact, tightly set sans with stout vertical stems and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and softened corners, giving letters a superelliptical, block-like geometry rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, counters are small and rectangular, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compressed with minimal modulation. Lowercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, with single-storey a and g, a tall, narrow x-height feel, and short extenders that reinforce the dense texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, display typography, signage, and packaging where a dense, compact word shape is an advantage. It also works well for labels and branding applications that want a tough, industrial voice and strong figure presence.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a bold, signage-like presence that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its compact shapes and squared curves project a no-nonsense, engineered character that feels direct and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual density and legibility in limited horizontal space while maintaining a friendly softness through rounded-rectangle curves. The consistent, blocky construction suggests an intention toward bold display communication with a disciplined, engineered aesthetic.
Distinctive superellipse bowls and tight apertures make the face excel at impact but create a dark typographic color in longer passages. The numerals follow the same squared-round logic, staying compact and uniform for strong alignment in tabular-like contexts.
