A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely monoline, with squared construction softened by rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, and many joins feel engineered rather than calligraphic, producing a clean, blocky silhouette. The counters are relatively small for the weight, and curves resolve into squarish ovals that keep letters crisp even at narrow widths. Figures and capitals align with the same condensed, squared logic for a uniform, sign-like texture.
Best suited to display applications where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, posters, signage, and packaging panels benefit from its condensed footprint and strong, uniform color. It can also work for labels, UI callouts, and short technical headings where a compact, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is industrial and functional, with a faint retro display energy reminiscent of labeling, machinery, and condensed poster types. Its compressed width and blunt detailing give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as technical and purposeful rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with sturdy, geometric construction and rounded-rectangle curves, balancing strict industrial structure with just enough softness to stay legible and cohesive across letters and figures.
The font maintains strong vertical emphasis and consistent stem presence, which helps create an even dark color in lines of text. Rounded corners prevent the geometry from feeling harsh, while the condensed spacing and narrow apertures can make dense settings feel packed at smaller sizes.
