A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and a tight, efficient rhythm. The outlines favor squared, superelliptical curves—round elements read like softened rectangles, giving O/C/G and the bowls in B/P/R a boxy, machined feel. Strokes stay even and sturdy, terminals are mostly flat, and joins are crisp, producing strong silhouettes and firm vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively small and the lowercase is built with simple, sturdy forms that keep a consistent, no-nonsense texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where density and impact matter—posters, signage, packaging fronts, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for subheads and labels when a compact, high-presence sans is needed, especially in space-constrained layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, combining a retro signage sensibility with a modern, engineered neatness. Its squared curves and dense weight create an authoritative, energetic voice that feels at home in bold statements and attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum helpings of punch and legibility in a narrow footprint, using squared, rounded-rectangle curves to create a distinctive, industrial-modern character. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for display-driven typography.
The uppercase set reads especially uniform and structural, while the lowercase introduces slightly more variety in shapes without losing the rigid, condensed cadence. Numerals are similarly stout and compact, designed to hold their own beside all-caps typography.
