A condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and soft corners, creating a superelliptical feel in C/O/Q and in the numerals. Terminals are generally flat and blunt, counters are tight, and the overall rhythm is compact with strong vertical emphasis. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian with single-storey forms (notably a and g), while the uppercase keeps a tall, narrow silhouette; punctuation and figures follow the same squared-round geometry, with an oval, inset counter in the 0.
Best suited to display settings where a dense, vertical texture is desirable—posters, headlines, labels, and signage. It can work for short subheads or interface labels when space is limited, but the tight counters and condensed rhythm favor larger sizes over extended reading.
The tone is assertive and functional, leaning toward industrial signage and mid-century/retro-futuristic display. Its compact width and blocky rounding read as technical and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, giving headlines a disciplined, mechanical presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangular geometry, prioritizing uniformity and punchy silhouette. Its simplified forms and blunt terminals suggest an aim for clear, reproducible letterforms that feel contemporary yet referential to vintage industrial and techno aesthetics.
Many round letters are drawn as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, which keeps texture consistent across lines. The condensed proportions make spacing feel tight in longer text, while the heavy visual mass and simplified joins keep letterforms legible at larger sizes.
