A compact, tall-proportioned sans with consistently heavy strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters a superelliptical, squared-off look—especially in O, C, G, and the bowls of P/R. Terminals are clean and blunt, with a generally monoline rhythm and a tightly compressed horizontal footprint. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation with single-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and concise joins, while numerals follow the same condensed, sturdy geometry.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI headings or data callouts when a condensed, assertive voice is desired, but the dense forms suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is pragmatic and forceful: condensed shapes, firm stroke weight, and squared-round curves create a disciplined, engineered voice. It reads as modern and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling and display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow width while maintaining a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes clarity and punch through sturdy strokes, compact counters, and simplified, consistent construction across letters and numerals.
The face leans on verticality, producing strong texture in lines of text and a distinctly tight silhouette in word shapes. Rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, while the compact counters and narrow apertures emphasize density and impact at larger sizes.
