A condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters a squarish, superellipse feel (notably in O, Q, and numerals). Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, with tight apertures and compact internal spaces that keep the silhouette dense and efficient. The lowercase follows a simple, geometric build with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, maintaining consistent rhythm and width across words while staying highly legible at display sizes.
Performs best in headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where compact width and strong presence are desired. It’s well suited to signage, labels, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a sturdy, technical texture. For long reading at small sizes, the dense counters suggest using generous size and leading for comfort.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, with an industrial, signage-like presence. Its compact proportions and squared curves evoke a retro-tech feel—part mechanical, part athletic—without becoming decorative. The texture reads punchy and disciplined, suited to bold statements and functional branding.
Likely drawn to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that remains clean and systematic while avoiding cold rigidity through rounded-rectangle curves. The design prioritizes efficiency, consistency, and a recognizable industrial voice for contemporary display and identity work.
Many glyphs lean on vertical emphasis and boxy counters, creating a strong, stacked text color in paragraphs and headlines. Numerals share the same squared-round logic and feel engineered for consistency, while the overall spacing and condensed width produce a tight, poster-ready cadence.
