A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a firm, even stroke. Curves tend to resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters a superelliptical, squared-off feel. Terminals are blunt and consistent, with minimal contrast and a strong vertical rhythm; bowls and apertures stay relatively tight, and overall spacing reads dense and economical.
Works best in headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a dense, space-saving voice is needed without sacrificing weight and presence. It can also suit logo wordmarks and short labels that benefit from an engineered, condensed silhouette.
The tone is assertive and practical, with an industrial, slightly retro flavor. Its compressed proportions and sturdy shapes feel direct and no-nonsense, leaning toward display impact while retaining a straightforward, functional attitude.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space, pairing heavy strokes with superelliptical rounding for a distinctive, industrial display texture. The consistent, blunt finishing and compact counters suggest an emphasis on sturdiness and reproducible shapes across sizes and media.
Round letters like O/C/G show a distinctly squared curve profile, while straight-sided forms (H, N, M) emphasize a rigid, engineered geometry. The numerals match the same compact, blocky language and hold up visually at larger sizes where the corner-rounding becomes part of the character.
