A compact, condensed sans with a tall lowercase structure and tight, economical proportions. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing an even, low-contrast texture, while terminals are clean and mostly flat. Many curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel—especially in C, G, O, Q, and the rounded lowercase forms. The overall rhythm is vertical and sturdy, with narrow apertures and compact spacing that create a dense, columnar color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short to medium text where a strong, compact voice is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and labeling. Its dense footprint makes it useful when horizontal space is limited, while the sturdy shapes help it hold up in high-contrast print and straightforward on-screen use.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with an industrial, signage-like directness. Its squared rounding reads contemporary and functional rather than friendly or calligraphic, lending a slightly mechanical, engineered character.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, combining a condensed build with superelliptical rounding to keep forms sturdy and consistent. The simplified geometry and uniform stroke weight suggest a focus on clarity, economy, and a modern industrial feel.
Figures follow the same condensed, blocky logic, with clear, solid silhouettes suited to tight settings. Uppercase forms feel particularly tall and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains legibility through a high x-height and simplified shapes.
