A compact, heavy sans with strongly vertical proportions and a tight footprint. Strokes are robust with subtly softened corners, giving many forms a squared-off, superellipse feel rather than pure circles. Curves are controlled and somewhat closed, with relatively small counters that reinforce a dense color on the page. Terminals are mostly blunt, joins are firm, and the overall rhythm is steady and uniform, emphasizing verticality and punch over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where space is limited but impact is required, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold editorial titling. It can also serve in condensed wordmarks and brand lockups that benefit from a strong, compact silhouette.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with an industrial edge. Its condensed heft and squared curves evoke retro signage and utilitarian branding, reading as direct, energetic, and slightly mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow measure while keeping forms simple, geometric, and highly reproducible. The softened corners appear intended to temper the blocky mass, balancing toughness with a controlled, contemporary finish.
The figures and caps maintain a consistent, monolithic presence, while the lowercase remains compact and weighty, supporting headline use. Rounded rectangles show up in bowls and curves, creating a characteristic mix of softness at the corners with otherwise rigid geometry.
