A compact, strongly vertical sans with consistently heavy strokes and a tightly condensed set width. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish softness rather than circular forms. Terminals are blunt and clean, apertures are relatively closed, and the overall rhythm is dense with minimal stroke modulation. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, keeping word shapes tight and blocky at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-contrast copy where condensed width is an advantage—posters, packaging panels, labels, and wayfinding or retail signage. It can also work for compact UI or dashboard titling where space is limited and a firm typographic voice is desired.
The typeface communicates an industrial, no-nonsense tone—efficient, compressed, and assertive. Its rounded-rectilinear forms add a subtle friendliness while retaining a pragmatic, engineered feel suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears aimed at maximizing impact and legibility in tight horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms sturdy and uniform. Its compressed proportions and dense texture suggest a focus on bold, modern display use while maintaining simple, functional letterforms.
In the samples, the narrow proportions and tight internal space produce strong color and high impact, especially in headlines. The squared-off rounds and straight-sided curves create a consistent, modular texture that reads as modern signage-inspired display typography.
