A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke thickness. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, while corners and curves are softened into superelliptical rounds, creating a sturdy, machined feel. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with tight apertures and minimal modulation; overall spacing reads dense and efficient. The numerals match the letterforms with the same compact geometry and strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and branding where compact width and strong presence are needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from an industrial, high-contrast silhouette at medium to large sizes.
The tone is utilitarian and assertive, leaning toward industrial signage and technical labeling. Rounded corners temper the weight, giving it a friendly, modern edge while still feeling disciplined and functional. It suggests clarity, structure, and a slightly retro mechanical character.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that stays legible while projecting a robust, fabricated aesthetic. Its rounded-rectangle geometry points to a deliberate blend of strict structure and softened edges for contemporary display use.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls and squared interior shapes give many letters a stamped or fabricated look. The condensed proportions and strong verticals create a consistent rhythm in all-caps, while the lowercase retains the same compact, engineered geometry for a cohesive texture in text.
