A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and a squared, rounded-rectangle construction. Corners are softly radiused while most terminals end in flat cuts, giving the forms a machined, modular feel. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and curves (like C, O, S) resolve into superelliptic arcs rather than true circles. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey structure with compact bowls and short, blunt joins; numerals follow the same squared geometry with sturdy, billboard-like silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, bold labels, and signage where compact width is valuable. It can also work for packaging and brand marks that want a rugged, technical look, and for UI or display callouts when large sizes and strong contrast against the background are required.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a retro technical flavor reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage. Its compact width and dense black shapes project strength and efficiency rather than elegance, leaning toward a mechanical, engineered personality.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and legibility in a condensed footprint while keeping a coherent rounded-rectangle geometry. The emphasis on uniform strokes, blunt terminals, and tight counters suggests an intention to evoke industrial marking systems and retro technical typography.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius and stroke weight across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps it feel systematic and modular. Some characters exhibit slightly notched or inset joins (notably in bowls and shoulders), adding a subtle stencil/engraved impression without fully breaking strokes.
