A heavy, condensed sans with a squared, superellipse construction: round letters read as rounded rectangles and counters are compact and vertical. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and curves transition quickly into straight segments for a sturdy, engineered feel. Proportions are tight with short extenders and dense spacing in text, while capitals sit tall and uniform for strong headline rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact, squared geometry, maintaining consistent weight and presence.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed weight can maximize impact in limited width—posters, packaging, bold brand marks, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for subheads and UI labels at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-ready energy. Its compressed width and blocky shapes suggest a retro display attitude—confident, direct, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using squared-rounded geometry to create a strong, contemporary-industrial look that remains clean and legible at display sizes.
The design’s small counters and tight interior spaces emphasize mass and solidity, especially in letters like B, P, R, and e. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid geometry, helping large settings feel less harsh while still staying highly graphic.
