A compact, tall-proportioned sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with tight apertures and minimal contrast, giving counters a vertical, pill-shaped feel. Terminals are consistently rounded, and the overall spacing is economical, producing a dense, poster-like texture in words while keeping letterforms clean and systematic.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact are desirable—posters, packaging fronts, signage, and bold brand marks. It can work for subheads or captions when set with generous tracking and leading, but the tight counters and strong color will dominate in longer passages.
The tone is bold and energetic with a retro-industrial flavor, like condensed headline lettering from mid-century signage. Rounded corners keep it friendly and approachable, balancing the strong weight with a touch of playfulness. Overall it reads confident, compact, and attention-seeking rather than delicate or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, using a consistent rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive, contemporary-with-retro character. It prioritizes strong silhouette and repeatable shapes for a clean, industrial rhythm that holds up well at display sizes.
Round letters such as O and C appear more like softened rectangles than true ovals, reinforcing a superelliptic, engineered rhythm. Narrow joins and tight internal spaces amplify the dark color on the line, so the face feels strongest when given breathing room via tracking and line spacing.
