A tall, tightly condensed sans with largely monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like rounds, giving letters such as O, C, and D a compact, engineered feel. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a steady vertical rhythm; counters are narrow and apertures are relatively tight, which increases density in text. The lowercase keeps a straightforward construction (single-storey a and g), and numerals follow the same narrow, vertical stance for consistent color in lines of copy.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a condensed, space-saving voice is needed. It can work effectively on packaging and labels, especially for short bursts of copy, UI headings, or navigational typography where a strong vertical rhythm helps create clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is direct and industrial, with a subtle retro signage character. Its compressed proportions and squared curves read as purposeful and mechanical, lending an efficient, no-nonsense voice that still feels stylized and display-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern construction. Its rounded-rectangular curves and blunt terminals suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, sign-like sans that stays consistent and readable across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing and internal counters are noticeably compact, so the font builds a dark, continuous texture at text sizes; it benefits from generous tracking when set in longer runs. The rounded-rectangle forms keep sharpness from feeling brittle, balancing rigidity with a softened edge.
