A condensed sans with softly squared, rounded-rectangle construction and gently rounded corners throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear with mild modulation, and many joins and terminals show slight, ink-like irregularities that keep edges from feeling perfectly mechanical. Counters are compact and open cleanly, with narrow proportions and economical spacing that produce a tight, vertical rhythm. The figures and capitals maintain the same sturdy, utilitarian geometry, while the lowercase adds a bit more softness in bowls and shoulders.
Well-suited to packaging, labels, and product branding where a compact, utilitarian sans can carry a distinctive voice. It also works effectively for posters, headlines, and signage that benefit from narrow letterforms and a sturdy, slightly tactile texture.
The overall tone feels practical and industrial, like lettering from labels, equipment markings, or workwear graphics. Its softened corners and subtle texture introduce a friendly, humanized edge, giving it a lightly retro, stamped or printed character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to blend efficient, condensed signage-like proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry and a hint of print imperfection. The result aims for a practical display sans that feels both engineered and approachable, offering character without sacrificing clarity.
Round forms lean toward squarish ovals, and many straight strokes end in subtly blunted terminals, reinforcing a durable, engineered feel. In text, the condensed proportions create strong line economy and a steady texture that reads best when given a touch of size or tracking to breathe.
