A tall, compact sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform in presence, with tight internal counters and narrow apertures that create a dense, vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners rather than true circles, and many joins are crisp and orthogonal, giving the alphabet a machined, modular look. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with clear, sturdy silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where its dense rhythm and strong silhouettes can carry impact. It also fits branding, packaging, labels, and directional or industrial signage where a compact, engineered aesthetic is desirable.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, or sci‑fi interfaces. Its compressed proportions and squared curves read as assertive and functional rather than friendly, projecting efficiency and control.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create a cohesive, modern-meets-retro voice. It prioritizes bold, space-efficient forms and a consistent modular construction for strong display performance.
Distinctive features include the squared-off terminals and consistently rounded corners, which keep the texture cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. The tight counters and compact spacing create strong color at display sizes, while the narrow openings can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long paragraphs.
