A condensed, heavy sans with squared-off, superellipse-like curves and tightly controlled geometry. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with rounded-rectangle counters and compact apertures that keep the texture dark and steady. Terminals are clean and blunt, curves transition sharply into straights, and the overall silhouette reads as tall and tightly packed. Numerals and capitals are especially monolithic, while lowercase maintains the same rigid construction for a consistent, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and strong branding systems where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits signage and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from tall condensed letterforms and clear, blunt shapes, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, headline-driven presence. Its condensed massing and squared rounding suggest a retro display sensibility—confident, efficient, and slightly mechanical rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms consistent and sturdy. Its geometry and heavy color aim for quick recognition and a strong display voice across titles and short bursts of text.
The family feel is strongly unified: rounded corners and rectangular counters recur across letters and figures, producing a cohesive, sign-like look. The dense spacing and compact internal shapes favor impact over airiness, helping the type hold together in large blocks of text at display sizes.
