A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and shoulders, giving counters a squarish, engineered feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are generally flat and clean, joins are sturdy, and spacing is tight, creating a dense, vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows single-story a and g with compact counters, while figures are straightforward and sturdy with minimal ornament.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where dense, impactful lettering is desired. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a compact footprint and sturdy shapes, especially when set in short phrases or stacked layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its compact build and squared-round shaping convey efficiency and control, making the texture feel strong and directive rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical geometry and firm stroke weight to produce a strong, modern-industrial texture. It prioritizes solidity and clarity at display sizes over airy openness or delicate detailing.
Round letters like O/C/G and bowls in B/P/R lean toward a rounded-rectangle silhouette, reinforcing a geometric, manufactured character. The design maintains consistent stroke energy across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping text set into a solid, uniform block at larger sizes.
