A compact, condensed sans with monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Forms are tall and tightly fit, with narrow counters and short crossbars that keep the rhythm dense and vertical. Curves read as superelliptical—more like softened corners than true circles—giving rounded letters a squared-off, engineered feel. Joins and terminals are clean and blunt, producing strong, consistent silhouettes that hold together in solid blocks of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where space is limited but impact is required. It can work well for packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a condensed footprint and strong, uniform shapes. For extended reading, it performs more comfortably as a display face than as body text due to its dense texture and tight apertures.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial signage and bold editorial display. Its compressed proportions and blocky geometry create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels modern and slightly retro in a poster or headline context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow measure while keeping forms orderly and highly consistent. Its superelliptical rounding and blunt terminals aim for a contemporary, engineered look that remains legible and cohesive in large-scale display settings.
The figures follow the same condensed, rounded-rect logic as the letters, supporting uniform texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. In longer lines, the tight spacing and narrow counters create a dark, continuous typographic color, especially at larger sizes.
