A compact, geometric sans with squared proportions softened by consistently rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are heavy and emphatic, with tight apertures and small counters that create a dense, punchy texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and the bowls of b/p/q) are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than circular forms. Uppercase and lowercase share a sturdy, engineered rhythm, with short, straight joins and minimal modulation that favors crisp silhouettes over calligraphic nuance.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where strong presence is needed—posters, signage, labels, packaging, and UI header elements. The compact width and dense color can help fit more characters into tight spaces, while still delivering a bold, technical voice.
The overall tone is industrial and authoritative, evoking machine labeling, equipment marking, and utilitarian signage. Its condensed, blocky shapes read as assertive and functional, with a slightly retro-tech flavor due to the rounded-rectangle construction.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, space-efficient display sans built from rounded-rectangular geometry, prioritizing impact, consistency, and a mechanical sense of precision.
The uppercase forms feel especially narrow and tall, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, no-nonsense structure (single-storey a, simple g) that reinforces clarity at display sizes. Numerals follow the same squared-with-rounding logic, aiming for uniformity and impact rather than delicate detail.
