A condensed, heavy sans with squared-off geometry softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently robust with little apparent modulation, producing a solid, poster-like color. Curves tend toward superellipse/rounded-rectangle construction, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel. The proportions are tall and tight, with narrow letterforms, small apertures, and short crossbars; spacing is economical, creating a dense, vertical rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, no-nonsense construction, maintaining a uniform, monoline presence across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work effectively for signage, packaging, and label systems that benefit from tall, space-saving letterforms and a sturdy, industrial tone. For longer passages, it’s best used sparingly or with extra spacing to keep the dense rhythm from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a subtly retro, industrial flavor. Its compressed stance and hefty strokes communicate urgency and authority, while the rounded corners keep the voice approachable rather than harsh. The result feels like signage and labeling typography—direct, functional, and built to stand out.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed skeleton with robust strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. It aims for a contemporary utilitarian look with a retro-industrial edge, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and consistent texture across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
In the sample text, the tight width and strong weight create a high-impact texture that works best when generous leading or tracking is available. The small openings and compact counters suggest it will read most confidently at larger sizes or in short bursts where punch and presence matter more than airy readability.
