A condensed sans with squared-round construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, with generally vertical stress and compact internal space. Strokes are sturdy and fairly uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals tend to be blunt or flat, reinforcing a utilitarian, engineered feel. Proportions are tall and tight, with narrow widths, short lowercase bodies, and prominent vertical stems; joins are clean and geometric rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact rhythm, producing a dense, efficient texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a compact footprint is valuable—posters, packaging panels, labels, and space-constrained editorial layouts. It can also work well for signage and brand marks that want a condensed, industrial impression with softened geometry.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor. Its condensed, squared-round geometry feels mechanical and purposeful, giving headlines a firm, authoritative voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a narrow width, using squared-round forms to create a distinctive, engineered silhouette. It prioritizes a strong vertical rhythm and compact counters to produce a dense, confident typographic color for display use.
Round forms like O, C, and G keep their corners softened, balancing rigidity with approachability. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy shapes and small counters, which increases visual weight and makes spacing feel naturally tight in display sizes.
