A condensed sans with tall, compact proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing superelliptical bowls and softened corners rather than circular forms. Terminals are mostly flat and squared, with a steady vertical rhythm and minimal modulation, giving the letters a firm, engineered texture. Lowercase uses simple, workmanlike constructions with single-storey forms and compact apertures; numerals follow the same squared-round logic for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where space is limited but impact is needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, compact voice and consistent, high-ink presence across letters and numerals.
The overall tone is tough and matter-of-fact, with an industrial, signage-like confidence. Its tight width and blocky rounding feel contemporary and utilitarian, leaning more toward functional display than delicate editorial nuance.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact sans for display use, combining condensed economy with rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the tone firm yet approachable.
The combination of condensed width and rounded-rectangle shaping creates a distinctive “softened machinery” look: rigid silhouettes tempered by rounded corners. In dense settings it produces a strong, continuous texture, while larger sizes emphasize the geometric quirks in bowls and joins.
