A condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal, corners are consistently rounded, and the overall rhythm is tight with short extenders and a dense fit. The numerals follow the same blocky, rounded construction, reinforcing a uniform, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—posters, signage, packaging callouts, and interface labels. The condensed proportions help fit more characters into narrow spaces while keeping a strong, legible presence at larger sizes.
The font reads as direct and workmanlike, with a strong, no-nonsense presence. Its squared rounding and compressed width suggest industrial signage and contemporary UI labeling, conveying a modern, technical tone with a slightly retro utilitarian edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact width, using rounded-rectangular construction to keep forms modern and consistent. It prioritizes a stable, engineered feel and a strong typographic color for display-oriented applications.
Round letters like O, C, and G show squarish counters with generous corner rounding, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X stay crisp and weighty. The overall silhouette is compact and sturdy, emphasizing verticality and maintaining consistent stroke color across lines of text.
