A condensed sans with tall proportions and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from squared-off bowls and superellipse-like rounding, producing rounded-rectangle counters in letters such as O, D, and P. Terminals tend to be flat and blunt, with occasional soft corners, giving the outlines a crisp, engineered feel. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short extenders and single-storey forms for a and g; the numerals follow the same squared, compact construction for consistent color in text.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where vertical economy matters, such as posters, signage, labels, and packaging. The compact, squared forms also work for short UI headings, technical branding, and strong typographic lockups where a structured, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a disciplined rhythm that reads as modern, technical, and slightly retro-signage. Its tight, tall stance and squared rounding project authority and efficiency rather than softness or elegance.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle construction for a recognizable, systematized look. The consistent stroke behavior and squared counters suggest an intention toward clarity and cohesion in bold display settings.
The glyph set shown maintains a consistent rounded-rect geometry across rounds, diagonals, and joins, helping it stay cohesive in dense settings. The condensed widths and firm apertures keep word shapes clean, while the squared counters add a distinctive, utilitarian personality.
