A compact, all-caps-forward sans with tall proportions and a strongly compressed footprint. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with curves resolved into rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) bowls and terminals rather than true circles. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is tight with minimal interior space, yielding a dense color on the page. Joins are clean and geometric, with squared logic softened by consistent corner rounding; digits follow the same blocky, rounded-rect construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging panels, and wayfinding or label-style signage. The condensed build helps fit longer titles into tight spaces while maintaining a strong presence at display sizes.
The tone is confident and utilitarian, combining a machinery-like geometry with softened corners that keep it approachable. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and athletic wordmarks.
Likely intended as a space-saving display sans that delivers maximum punch with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. The consistent corner softening suggests a goal of pairing industrial solidity with a slightly friendly finish for modern branding and bold editorial use.
The design emphasizes verticality: many letters rely on straight stems with condensed bowls, and round letters like O/Q are more pill-shaped than circular. The lowercase stays sturdy and simple, with compact apertures and a straightforward, functional feel that favors impact over delicacy.
