A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tight internal counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with blunt terminals and squared shoulders softened by radius corners, giving curves a superellipse feel rather than true circles. The uppercase is tall and narrow with compact bowls and short arms; the lowercase maintains a high x-height with simplified, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation. Overall spacing and proportions read economical and vertical, producing a dense, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where vertical economy and strong presence matter—posters, signage, packaging, and branded lockups. It can also work for short, high-contrast UI labels or captions when a condensed, forceful voice is desired, though its dense forms may feel heavy for long passages.
The tone is direct and utilitarian, leaning industrial and slightly retro due to its condensed, block-based geometry. It feels confident and attention-grabbing, prioritizing impact and clarity over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using a rounded-rect geometric system to keep forms bold, sturdy, and highly consistent across the character set.
Round letters like C, O, and G appear more like softened rectangles, reinforcing a technical, engineered look. The numerals and punctuation follow the same compact, sturdy logic, making the font feel consistent across alphanumerics.
