A compact, condensed sans with monoline construction and subtly rounded corners. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Stems are straight and firm with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and joins stay clean, producing a crisp, economical silhouette. Proportions are tight with small apertures and compact counters, and the overall rhythm reads slightly irregular in a hand-cut, workmanlike way rather than strictly mechanical.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks where a compressed width helps fit more characters per line—posters, packaging, labels, signage, and UI callouts. It can work for brief text at larger sizes, especially when a compact, industrial flavor is desired.
The tone is practical and slightly retro, evoking industrial labeling, stamped signage, or utilitarian print where space is limited. Its narrow, upright stance feels direct and no-nonsense, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient sans with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry—combining the density of a condensed face with softened, boxy curves for strong, readable word shapes.
Round letters (like O/Q) lean toward squarish bowls, and the lowercase shows simplified shapes with a straightforward, functional feel. Numerals share the same condensed, sturdy build and maintain consistent stroke weight and corner treatment for a cohesive set.
