A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and a tight overall footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off roundness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and blunt with minimal modulation, and spacing feels efficient, producing a dense, poster-ready rhythm. Numerals and capitals read particularly sturdy and uniform, while the lowercase maintains simple, functional shapes and short extenders.
Works best for headlines, posters, and signage where compact width and strong color improve impact and fit. It also suits branding, packaging, labels, and UI callouts that need a sturdy, modern sans with a slightly technical edge.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial, engineered character. Its squared-round curves add a contemporary, slightly technical flavor, while the heavy weight projects confidence and authority. Overall it feels practical and workmanlike rather than delicate or expressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical construction to keep forms friendly while remaining mechanical and efficient. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistency, and strong typographic color for display-driven settings.
Counters tend to be compact, which increases punch at display sizes but creates a darker texture in paragraphs. The rounded-rect geometry stays consistent across letters and figures, supporting a cohesive, system-like look in headlines and labeling.
