A compact, condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and a distinctly squared-off, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls, producing rectangular counters in letters like O, D, and P, while terminals are clean and blunt. Proportions are tall and tightly spaced in feel, with short crossbars and narrow apertures that keep the texture dense. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and a relatively tall x-height; numerals follow the same condensed, geometric logic with firm, blocky silhouettes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that need a compact footprint and strong punch. It can work effectively in packaging and wayfinding-style signage where dense, vertical letterforms help conserve space while maintaining a bold presence.
The overall tone is firm and no-nonsense, combining a contemporary, engineered look with a slightly industrial signage feel. Its compressed geometry reads confident and functional rather than decorative, projecting clarity and impact in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure, using squared, rounded forms to maintain a cohesive geometric identity. Its consistent stroke and compact proportions emphasize efficiency and legibility for display-oriented typography.
The squared bowls and consistently rounded corners create a strong internal rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The condensed set width and tight internal openings make it most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous tracking when used in longer lines.
