A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Stems are straight and uniform, with tight apertures and compact bowls that create small, clean counters. Curves resolve into squared-off arcs rather than true circles, giving letters a superelliptical, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and consistent, and the overall rhythm is vertical and punchy, with minimal modulation and a strong, dark texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, authoritative voice is needed. It also fits wayfinding and signage-style applications, and works well for packaging and label typography that benefits from compact width and strong silhouette.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and compressed headline typography. Its squared curves and tight spacing read as controlled and forceful rather than friendly, with a slight retro-industrial flavor.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining consistent, geometric construction. By using squared curves and rounded corners, it balances strict industrial structure with enough softness to keep counters open and letterforms recognizable at display sizes.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and columnar, while lowercase maintains a compact, pragmatic shape language with clear distinctions in key glyphs like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, keeping a sturdy, display-oriented presence.
