A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and squared counters softened by rounded, superellipse-like corners. Curves and bowls read as rounded rectangles, giving O/C/D-style forms a tight, engineered feel, while terminals stay mostly blunt and straight. The rhythm is tall and vertical, with minimal modulation and consistent stroke thickness, creating strong color in text. Lowercase shapes are simple and sturdy, with compact apertures and a generally mechanical construction that stays clear at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold typographic layouts where space is tight but impact is needed. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a compact, high-energy condensed sans with strong legibility at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a disciplined, industrial voice. Its compressed proportions and dense weight give it a confident, attention-grabbing presence suited to punchy messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch and economy of width, combining a dense vertical stance with softened rectangular curves for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes consistency and strong typographic color for display-driven communication.
Round characters maintain a squarish silhouette, and many joins and corners are slightly eased rather than sharply angled, which keeps the texture from feeling brittle. Numerals follow the same compact, heavy construction, supporting a cohesive typographic palette across letters and figures.
