A condensed, heavy sans with a rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) construction and tight, economical counters. Curves are squared off into softened corners, giving bowls and arches a rectilinear rhythm, while strokes stay fairly uniform with only subtle modulation. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, and the overall proportions feel tall and compact, with short extenders and a high internal fill that keeps forms dense and graphic. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed stance, producing a consistent vertical texture in words and lines.
Best suited for headlines and short display copy where its condensed width and dense color can maximize impact in limited space. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor that recalls signage and display titling. Its softened corners keep it from feeling harsh, but the compact weight and tight apertures still read as forceful and attention-seeking.
This font appears designed to deliver a compact, space-efficient display voice built from superelliptical geometry, balancing blunt strength with softened corners for a controlled, contemporary-retro presence.
The design emphasizes verticality and uniform spacing, creating strong column-like word shapes in continuous text. Rounded-rectangular bowls and narrow joins contribute to a stamped or engineered feel, especially in repeated arches and double-stem forms.
