A compact, heavy sans with vertically stressed proportions and a squared-off, rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Corners are softly radiused while terminals stay blunt, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and the joins favor simple, straight geometry over calligraphic modulation. Uppercase forms read tall and uniform, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with minimal curvature and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where a dense, vertical rhythm is desirable. It works well for posters, labels, packaging, and signage that need strong contrast against a background and clear, compact word shapes. In longer text, it will be more effective at larger sizes or in limited bursts for emphasis.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a slight retro signage flavor due to the condensed stance and rounded-rect geometry. Its dense black shapes project strength and urgency, making the voice feel assertive and attention-seeking rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-rect aesthetic. Its consistent geometry suggests a focus on sturdy reproduction and a distinctive, engineered look for display typography.
Round letters such as O/Q and bowl shapes are built from superelliptic rectangles, giving the family a distinctive “softened square” rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
