A compact, vertically oriented sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a consistently softened corner treatment. Strokes read sturdy and even, with mostly flat terminals and minimal modulation, giving the forms a clean, engineered feel. Counters are tight and tall, and many curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls rather than fully circular rounds, producing a squared-off rhythm across letters and numerals. The overall spacing and proportions emphasize height and economy, while maintaining clear interior shapes for readability at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a strong vertical presence is desirable, such as posters, signage, and wayfinding. Its compact proportions help fit long titles into narrow spaces, making it practical for packaging, labels, and brand lockups that need a sturdy, contemporary-industrial voice.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and labeling. Rounded corners soften the rigidity of the condensed build, keeping it approachable while still feeling firm and purposeful. Overall it communicates clarity, efficiency, and a slightly mechanical confidence.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans with softened geometry—combining condensed readability with rounded-rectangle forms for a distinctive but disciplined texture. The emphasis appears to be on consistent construction, clear silhouettes, and a modernized vintage-sign aesthetic for display-led typography.
Capitals are notably tall and columnar, and rounded joins are used where arches meet stems, reinforcing the soft-square motif. Numerals follow the same condensed, sign-like logic with simple silhouettes and stable vertical stress, contributing to a cohesive, systematized texture in text.
