A condensed display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. Counters tend to be tight and vertically oriented, producing a compact, stacked rhythm; round letters like O and Q read as superelliptical capsules, while curves are minimized in favor of straight sides and short radiused joins. The lowercase keeps a tall feel with simplified forms and minimal modulation, and figures follow the same narrow, blocklike construction for a cohesive, sign-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable. It also fits signage and labels that benefit from dense, uniform strokes and a strong vertical rhythm, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is bold, utilitarian, and slightly retro, evoking industrial labeling and mid‑century headline typography. Its compressed width and rounded-square construction give it a confident, engineered voice that feels direct and attention-seeking without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-rectangular motif across letters and numerals. Its simplified, engineered shapes prioritize a strong silhouette and consistent texture for display settings.
Distinctive features include the squared, inset-style openings in letters like C and G, and the narrow joins in m/n/u that create a ribbed, vertical cadence. The ampersand and punctuation match the same rigid, rounded-corner logic, helping long lines keep a consistent, poster-like color.
