A tightly condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, with subtly softened corners that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow, lowercase maintains a high x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and spacing is economical, producing a dense, vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding or labeling. The dense texture and compressed width make it useful for tall, stacked layouts, while the rounded corners keep large-size set text from feeling overly harsh.
The overall tone is firm and functional, with an industrial, engineered character. Its rounded-rectilinear curves add a slightly retro, signage-like flavor while staying straightforward and no-nonsense.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent rounded-rect geometry to create a cohesive, industrial display voice. The high x-height and simplified shapes suggest an emphasis on clarity and uniformity in compact, attention-getting typography.
Several glyphs lean on simplified, architectural shapes (notably the rounded-rect counters in letters like O, D, and P), which helps maintain consistency at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, pairing well with the uppercase for compact labeling and display.
