A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms with softened corners, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a restrained, engineered geometry. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure, while numerals and capitals maintain a consistent vertical rhythm and dense texture in lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and bold subheads where a compact width helps fit more characters per line. The sturdy, squared curves and high visual density also make it a good choice for signage, packaging callouts, and branding systems that want a confident, industrial voice.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, combining a modern industrial clarity with a subtle retro signage flavor. Its compressed silhouettes and squared curves project efficiency and strength, producing a firm, poster-ready voice rather than a friendly or delicate one.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using squared, rounded forms to stay crisp and contemporary while retaining a hint of vintage display lettering. Consistency across capitals, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on practical, repeatable shapes that hold up in prominent, high-contrast settings.
At display sizes the distinctive rounded-rectangle curves read clearly, and the condensed spacing produces a strong typographic color. In longer strings the dense rhythm emphasizes vertical strokes and can feel intense, making it better suited to short, high-impact copy than relaxed reading.
