A compact sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and arches, and terminals feel clean and clipped. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a steady, monoline rhythm, while counters are relatively tight for a dense, efficient texture. The overall fit is on the condensed side, with tall verticals and neatly controlled curves that keep forms crisp in display sizes. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded-rectilinear logic, reading solid and consistent alongside the capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-to-medium text where a compact, sturdy voice is needed. The dense proportions and even stroke color work well for branding, packaging, and signage systems, especially in modern or industrial contexts where space efficiency and visual strength matter.
The typeface projects a contemporary, utilitarian confidence—direct, no-nonsense, and a bit industrial. Its squared-round geometry adds a tech-forward flavor without becoming overly futuristic, keeping the tone professional and pragmatic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, contemporary sans with a recognizable squared-round geometry—balancing friendliness from rounded corners with the discipline of rectangular structure. It prioritizes consistent color and compact width for impactful, space-saving typography.
Round letters like O/C/G and the shoulder shapes in n/m/u show a consistent superelliptical approach, giving the font a distinctive "soft-square" signature. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike feel with minimal calligraphic influence, emphasizing clarity and regularity over personality-driven quirks.
