A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and mostly even stroke weight. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and soft corners, creating a compact, vertical rhythm and a distinctly modular feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, with occasional pointed joins and small angular notches that add bite to otherwise smooth forms. Counters are tight and the overall texture is dense, giving the alphabet a strong, blocky silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and compact width are beneficial—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short bursts of text such as labels or UI section headers, where its dense rhythm remains readable at larger sizes.
The font reads as retro and industrial, combining utilitarian sturdiness with a slightly whimsical, stylized edge. Its condensed proportions and emphatic shapes evoke vintage display lettering, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-saving display voice built from rounded geometric primitives. By keeping strokes largely uniform and proportions condensed, it prioritizes impact and a distinctive silhouette for titles and brand-forward typography.
Uppercase forms feel particularly tall and signage-like, while lowercase retains the same compact, constructed logic for a cohesive voice. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangular geometry, maintaining a consistent, poster-friendly color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
