A compact, heavy sans with a condensed stance and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even, with flat terminals and softly radiused corners that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Bowls and counters skew toward squared shapes, producing a sturdy, modular rhythm; curves read as superelliptic rather than truly circular. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with short extenders and simple joins, while numerals and capitals share the same dense, poster-ready footprint.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a compact width and high visual weight are advantages. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that need an assertive, industrial voice and a tight typographic footprint.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like confidence. Its condensed massing and squared curves suggest retro utility—more pragmatic and forceful than friendly—making it feel at home in environments that value impact and clarity over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms consistent and sturdy. It prioritizes bold presence and a uniform, engineered rhythm suitable for attention-grabbing display settings.
At text sizes the tight interior spaces and dense stroke weight create a strong vertical color, especially in uppercase runs. The rounded corners soften the blocky geometry, helping maintain legibility and preventing the forms from looking brittle.
