A condensed, heavy sans with squared-off, superellipse-like counters and generously rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and predominantly vertical, with compact apertures and tight interior space that emphasize a solid, poster-ready color. Many terminals feel slightly blunted and uneven, giving the outlines a subtly distressed, inked look rather than a perfectly geometric finish. Overall proportions are tall and narrow, with simplified shapes and sturdy joins that keep the rhythm consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a dense, compact wordshape is useful and texture is welcome. It can also work for bold logotypes and labels that want an industrial or retro voice. For long-form text, the tight apertures and condensed proportions suggest using it sparingly or at larger sizes.
The font conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a hint of vintage hardware and print-shop texture. Its compact stance and dense weight read as assertive and workmanlike, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The slight roughness adds a tactile, handmade edge reminiscent of stamping, labeling, or worn signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton with a slightly worn finish. It prioritizes strong presence and quick recognition, evoking utilitarian typography used for labeling, equipment marks, and bold display settings.
Round forms (like O, Q, and 0) lean toward rounded-rectangle construction, and many counters are similarly squarish, reinforcing a cohesive superellipse geometry. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with simple, vertical-driven construction that maintains legibility at display sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, aligning well with the alphabet for typographic consistency.
