A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are thick and relatively uniform, with rounded corners and flattened terminals that create a cut, segmented feel—most noticeable where counters and joins form narrow vertical apertures. The proportions are tall and condensed, with large, simplified interior spaces and a steady rhythm that keeps words looking dense and cohesive. Curved letters like O, C, and G read as squarish ovals, while diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are sharply planar, reinforcing the geometric, engineered texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and display settings where density and impact are desirable. It can also work for packaging or signage that benefits from a compact footprint and high visual weight, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial edge. Its compact massing and clipped openings give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in bold statements, branding, and headline-driven layouts.
The design appears aimed at maximizing punch and economy of space: a condensed, geometric display sans that stays legible through simplified forms and consistent stroke weight, while adding personality through clipped apertures and rounded-rectangle curves.
At text sizes the narrowed apertures and tight internal shaping can make letters feel compressed, while at larger sizes those same details become a distinctive signature. Numerals match the letterforms’ squarish roundness and heavy presence, supporting strong, attention-first typography.
