A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and softly rounded outer curves. The letterforms are compact and tall, with tight counters and generally closed apertures that give text a dense, economical rhythm. Curves are smooth and geometric-leaning, while joins and terminals tend to be squared off, producing a sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact construction, reading clearly at display sizes and maintaining consistent weight through curves and straights.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It also works well for labels and packaging that need bold readability in narrow columns or constrained spaces, and for simple UI accents where short strings must stand out.
The overall tone is practical and confident, with a mild retro/industrial flavor. Its compact proportions and sturdy shapes feel direct and no-nonsense, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining rounded geometry with sturdy, consistent stroke weight for clear, emphatic display typography.
In text, the condensed width and closed shapes create strong color and tight texture, which can become visually heavy at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs. Uppercase forms are especially punchy for short headlines, and the condensed figures suit space-conscious layouts.
