A compact sans with tall proportions and a strong, even stroke. Letterforms are built from squared-off shapes softened by rounded corners, producing superellipse-like counters and terminals. Curves are controlled and rectangular in feel, with tight apertures and minimal modulation, giving the font a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Numerals and capitals read especially uniform and vertical, while lowercase keeps the same geometric discipline with clean, simplified joins.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of display text where a compact width and strong presence are beneficial. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging where a sturdy, space-efficient sans can maintain clarity and a consistent industrial voice.
The overall tone feels industrial and practical, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of signage and equipment labeling. Its compressed, no-nonsense forms project efficiency and firmness rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, space-saving display typography with a rational, rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes a consistent, engineered silhouette that holds up in bold messaging and functional applications alike.
Round elements (like O/Q and bowls) stay more like rounded rectangles than true circles, reinforcing the mechanical texture. The design maintains consistent corner radii across the set, helping headlines look cohesive at large sizes while staying crisp and compact in dense settings.
