A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like contours and rounded corners that soften the otherwise blocky geometry. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong figure–ground contrast. Proportions are tightly condensed with a consistent, cell-like rhythm across letters and numerals, giving it a disciplined, grid-friendly texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, while curves (C, G, O, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, reinforcing the constructed feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements where space is limited but impact is needed. The consistent, gridlike rhythm also fits signage, labels, packaging, and UI callouts that benefit from compact, high-visibility letterforms at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike voice. Its compact weight and engineered shapes evoke industrial labeling, equipment markings, and retro technical ephemera, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, pairing heavy, uniform strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry for a robust, manufactured look. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and strong silhouettes for emphatic display typography and utilitarian graphic applications.
The dense interior spaces and narrow set create a dark, continuous color in paragraphs, favoring short lines and display settings. Numerals share the same sturdy, compact build, and punctuation in the sample shows clear, chunky forms suited to bold messaging.
