A tall, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and curves. Terminals are mostly squared-off with softened corners, creating a sturdy, monolithic silhouette and compact internal counters. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and a strong emphasis on straight stems; curves read as superelliptical rather than fully circular. Numerals match the compressed proportions and maintain consistent weight and footprint for dense setting.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display copy where a compact footprint and strong vertical emphasis help pack information into limited space. It can work well for signage and packaging that need an industrial, straightforward voice, and it’s a good candidate for condensed wordmarks or badges where tight width is an advantage.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and industrial, with a confident, assertive presence suited to bold statements. Its compressed, blocklike forms evoke a slightly retro signage flavor while remaining clean and contemporary in texture. The softness at corners keeps it from feeling harsh, balancing authority with approachability.
The design appears intended as a high-impact condensed display sans that maximizes density while keeping forms simple and robust. Rounded-rectangle curves and softened terminals suggest an aim for a modernized signage look—strong, legible at large sizes, and visually consistent across letters and numerals.
In text, the condensed width and closed shapes can create a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines, making line spacing and tracking important for readability. The design’s uniform stroke and compact counters emphasize impact over delicacy, and it holds its shape well in large sizes where the rounded-rect curves are most apparent.
