A condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a tightly controlled rhythm. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: squared counters, softened corners, and largely straight-sided bowls that keep curves minimal and purposeful. The capitals are tall and compact, with short crossbars (notably on E/F) and a sturdy, engineered presence; the lowercase echoes this with narrow apertures and compact shoulders. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, reading clearly and consistently at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and compact width matter: posters, bold headlines, wayfinding and signage, and packaging or brand marks that need a sturdy, engineered voice. It can work for short text blocks, but its dense texture and condensed proportions are most effective in titles, labels, and callouts.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a confident, poster-like punch. Its squared, softened geometry suggests mechanical lettering and mid-century signage, giving it a retro-technical character that feels assertive rather than playful.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangular construction to maintain a consistent, industrial feel across letters and numbers while preserving clear, high-contrast silhouettes.
The design favors verticality and compact spacing, producing a dense texture in paragraphs and a strong silhouette in headlines. Rounded corners prevent the forms from feeling harsh, while the boxy counters and limited curvature keep the look systematic and uniform.
