A compact, tightly spaced condensed sans with tall proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves that soften counters and corners while keeping an overall blocky silhouette. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S read as squared rounds rather than true circles, and joins stay clean and mechanical. Lowercase forms are tall with short ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height, and apertures tend to be tight, creating dense word shapes. Figures are narrow and upright, matching the compressed texture of the alphabet.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited and impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and signage. It can also work for compact logo wordmarks and bold titling systems, especially when a condensed, geometric voice is desired.
The font communicates an industrial, headline-forward tone—confident, compact, and utilitarian. Its narrow build and squared-round geometry evoke signage and display typography with a slightly retro, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using squared-round geometry and uniform strokes to produce a consistent, industrial display texture. The tall lowercase and compact spacing support tight line breaks and dense typographic layouts.
The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and an even, steady color across lines. Narrow apertures and tight counters create a dark texture that favors larger sizes, while the rounded-rectangle construction prevents the look from feeling sharp or aggressive.
