A tall, compact sans with a strongly vertical stance and tight internal spacing. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and clean, mostly straight-sided construction. Curves are squared off into rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are blunt and crisp, and joins stay simple and engineered, producing a steady, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic with clear, open shapes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where compact width and strong presence are desirable. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from an industrial, condensed sans with steady rhythm. In branding, it works best for short names and wordmarks that want a firm, engineered feel.
The overall tone is practical and forceful, with an industrial clarity that reads as modern signage and machinery labeling rather than expressive handwriting. Its compact proportions and squared curves add a disciplined, no-nonsense voice that feels efficient and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. It emphasizes uniform stroke strength and simplified forms to stay clear and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals in display-oriented settings.
The uppercase set is especially tall and uniform, creating strong vertical rhythm in headlines. Round letters like C, O, and Q read more like softened rectangles, and the lowercase maintains sturdy, simplified forms that prioritize consistent density over calligraphic detail.
