A tall, tightly set sans with a strong vertical emphasis and compact, condensed proportions. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and most curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, producing squared bowls and softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are generally flat and blunt, counters are narrow, and apertures tend to be tight, creating a dense, poster-like texture. The overall rhythm is uniform and modular, with crisp joins and simplified shapes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold typographic lockups where a compact width and heavy strokes help pack information into limited space. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a structured, industrial aesthetic. For body text, it will be most effective in short bursts or larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The font projects a functional, industrial tone with a modern, techno-leaning edge. Its rigid geometry and compact width suggest efficiency and control, while the rounded corners keep the voice approachable rather than harsh. Overall it feels urban and utilitarian, suited to bold, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans that feels systematic and engineered. By building rounds from rounded-rectangle geometry and keeping strokes visually consistent, it aims for a cohesive, modular look that holds up in bold display settings.
Round characters such as O/C/G and numerals lean toward superelliptical, rounded-rect geometry, reinforcing a consistent squared-off system across the set. The tight counters and narrow widths can reduce clarity in long passages, but they intensify the graphic presence in short lines. Numerals match the condensed, squared styling and maintain strong alignment for tabular or signage-like treatments.
