A condensed, heavy sans with sturdy, rounded-rectangle construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are simple and geometric, with generous internal counters that keep the forms readable despite the tight proportions. Terminals and joins tend to be blunt and squared-off, giving the alphabet a compact, engineered feel. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, workmanlike rhythm; figures follow the same solid, no-nonsense construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where space is limited but impact is needed. It works well for signage, packaging, labels, and other applications that benefit from a compact, sturdy sans with strong legibility at display sizes.
The overall tone is direct and functional, with a slightly retro, industrial character. Its compact shapes and blunt detailing project confidence and practicality rather than elegance, making it feel more like signage or equipment labeling than editorial typography.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight width, using simple geometric forms and blunt terminals for clarity and durability. The consistent construction suggests an emphasis on practical readability and high-impact display use.
In text, the narrow set and strong vertical emphasis create a dense texture with prominent stems and clear word shapes. The rounded corners soften the mass slightly, preventing it from feeling overly harsh while keeping the visual voice firmly utilitarian.
