A compact, heavy sans with tightly condensed proportions and a distinctly vertical stance. Strokes stay essentially monoline, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that soften counters and terminals without adding calligraphic contrast. The design emphasizes tall, straight-sided forms and narrow apertures, producing a dense rhythm; bowls and rounds read as squared-off ovals rather than true circles. Lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with simple, closed forms and short extenders, while figures follow the same narrow, blocky logic for consistent color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and bold branding lockups where condensed width helps fit more characters per line. It can also work for signage or labels that need strong presence, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its dense width and heavy mass give it a poster-ready urgency that feels modern and functional rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, pairing a compressed structure with softened, superellipse-like curves for a contemporary, approachable industrial look.
Spacing and internal counters appear intentionally tight, which boosts impact but can make small sizes feel busy. The rounded-rectangle shaping adds a subtle friendliness to an otherwise hard-working, compressed silhouette.
