A compact, slanted sans with monoline construction and a tight, monospaced rhythm. Many forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read squarish with softened corners, and curves transition with a slightly mechanical, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular arcs. Strokes are heavy and even, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and the overall texture is dark and consistent. Uppercase shapes are tall and sturdy, while lowercase has a straightforward, workmanlike structure; figures are similarly compact and sturdy, with clear, blocky silhouettes.
Well suited to labels, packaging, and wayfinding where compact width and strong presence help text hold up at medium sizes. It can also work for posters and headline settings that want a technical, industrial voice, and for UI/overlay elements where fixed-width alignment and consistent texture are beneficial.
The tone is utilitarian and technical, with a retro-industrial edge reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and pragmatic signage. Its strong, compact forms and steady spacing convey decisiveness and functional clarity rather than elegance or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, space-efficient sans for environments that value alignment and repeatable spacing, pairing monospaced discipline with softened, rounded-rectangle curves to avoid harshness while maintaining a mechanical feel.
The slant and blocky rounding create a forward-leaning, energetic cadence while keeping a disciplined grid-like regularity. The dense color and simplified detailing favor impact and consistency in short bursts of text.
