A condensed display sans with a tall, compact stance and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with smooth, softened corners and largely straight-sided curves that create a superelliptical, squared-off feel in bowls and counters. Terminals are clean and blunt, apertures tend to be narrow, and spacing is tight, producing a dense, vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms follow the same rectilinear logic, with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation, while numerals and capitals maintain consistent width and weight for a uniform, blocky texture.
Best suited for headlines, titles, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is useful. It can work well in signage and packaging that benefits from an industrial or retro-modern voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded-rectangle details are most visible.
The overall tone is industrial and retro, combining utilitarian sturdiness with a streamlined, machine-made smoothness. It reads confident and commanding, with a slightly vintage, poster-era flavor driven by the condensed proportions and rounded-square geometry.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-square geometry to create a cohesive, modern-industrial identity. The consistent, softened corners suggest a goal of combining strength with approachability for display-focused typography.
The font’s squared curves and tight internal counters give it strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes, but the compact apertures and dense spacing can make long text feel heavy. Its consistent stroke color and rounded corners help it avoid harshness despite the high-impact weight.
