A compact, heavy sans with a condensed footprint and a squared, superelliptical construction. Strokes are monolinear with crisp terminals and subtly rounded corners that soften the otherwise blocky silhouettes. Curves (C, G, O, S) feel like rounded rectangles rather than pure circles, and counters are relatively tight, giving the face a dense, economical texture. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and generally vertical stress; numerals follow the same compact, uniform rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a strong, condensed voice helps fit more characters into limited space. It also works effectively for labels and signage, especially in contexts that benefit from a sturdy, industrial sans with rounded-rectangle forms.
The font projects a practical, workmanlike tone with a contemporary industrial edge. Its dense shapes and squared curves feel direct and no-nonsense, while the slight rounding keeps it from becoming harsh or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and space efficiency through condensed widths, uniform stroke weight, and superelliptical round forms. The slight corner rounding suggests an aim to balance toughness with approachability for contemporary display and branding use.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes at larger sizes, while small details like the squat curves and short extenders emphasize a compact, sign-like presence. The overall rhythm is consistent and emphatically vertical, suited to short bursts of text rather than airy, long reading settings.
