A compact, condensed display sans with heavy, nearly monoline strokes and tightly controlled apertures. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-but-soft silhouette that stays consistent across the set. The verticals dominate, terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and internal spaces are narrow, producing a dense, efficient rhythm in all-caps and mixed case. Numerals follow the same compressed, blocky construction for a unified texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed width and heavy color can deliver impact—posters, mastheads, labels, packaging panels, and bold wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a strong, space-saving voice is needed, but it will appear quite dense for extended text.
The font projects an assertive, utilitarian tone with a touch of retro signage. Its tight proportions and squared-round shapes feel engineered and punchy, reading as confident and no-nonsense in headlines.
Likely designed to maximize punch and economy of space while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners. The consistent rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an intent to create a modern-industrial display sans that remains cohesive across letters and figures.
In longer lines the density is high and word shapes become very dark, especially in uppercase, so it visually excels when given room to breathe. The rounded-rectangular construction is especially noticeable in bowls (like O/C) and in the compact, stacked feel of characters such as B, 8, and 9.
