The design is highly condensed with tall proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms—especially in C, O, and numerals—while terminals are mostly flat and squared, giving a machined, modular look. Counters are compact and vertical, and joins are crisp, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Distinctive details like the tailed Q and narrow, upright lowercase reinforce a disciplined, space-efficient silhouette.
It performs best in headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. The sturdy geometry also suits wayfinding, labels, and UI or product typography where space is tight and letterforms must stay assertive at medium sizes. It is less suited to long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense, vertical texture.
This typeface feels industrious and slightly retro, with a condensed, sign-painting energy tempered by clean, engineered geometry. Its stance reads confident and utilitarian, with a hint of tech and transport-era modernism rather than playful friendliness.
The font appears designed to maximize impact and legibility in narrow horizontal space, using sturdy strokes and simplified, geometric shapes. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to feel systematic and contemporary while retaining a vintage display flavor suitable for bold headings.
The sample text shows an even, consistent color and strong vertical emphasis, with lowercase forms that stay narrow and upright. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, supporting cohesive titling and display settings.
