A tall, tightly set sans with a strong vertical emphasis and compact, straight-sided letterforms. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and softly radiused corners rather than fully circular rounds. Strokes read sturdy and consistent, with small apertures and short, economical terminals; counters are narrow and neatly contained, keeping the overall texture dense and even. Uppercase proportions are towering, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with simple, closed forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and signage. It can also work for bold brand marks, labels, and UI sections that benefit from a compact, high-contrast-in-silhouette word shape.
The overall tone is utilitarian and punchy, evoking industrial labeling and streamlined modernist display typography. Its rigid rhythm and rounded-rectangular curves give it a slightly retro, machine-made feel—confident, efficient, and attention grabbing without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to create a distinctive, modern-industrial voice with consistent rhythm across letters and figures.
Numbers and punctuation follow the same condensed, squared-off logic, helping the font keep a consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings. The design’s tight apertures and compact counters increase impact at larger sizes while emphasizing a crisp, engineered silhouette.
