A compact condensed sans with tall proportions, rounded-rectangle construction, and sturdy, mostly monoline strokes. Curves resolve into softly squared corners rather than true circular bowls, giving counters a superelliptical feel and a tight, efficient rhythm. Terminals are generally blunt with slight rounding, and the overall fit is narrow with a strong vertical emphasis that keeps word shapes dense and emphatic. Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared-round geometry, producing a consistent, blocky silhouette in both display lines and mixed-case text.
This font is well suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where a condensed footprint is useful. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage applications that benefit from dense, sturdy letterforms with a contemporary-industrial edge.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly eccentric, retro-industrial flavor created by the squared curves and compressed stance. It feels direct and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative, projecting a practical, engineered personality suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners and superelliptical geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke behavior for bold, practical display typography.
In text, the narrow set and tight internal spaces make lines feel packed and energetic; the rounded corners prevent the heavy forms from feeling harsh. The design reads best when allowed some breathing room in tracking and line spacing, especially at smaller sizes where counters can visually close up.
