A condensed, heavy sans with a squared, superellipse construction: counters and bowls read as rounded rectangles, and curves resolve into flat-ish shoulders rather than true circles. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle modulation from shaping, producing dense, dark text color and compact internal apertures. Terminals are predominantly blunt and straight, with rounded corners that soften the blocky geometry. Proportions emphasize tall lowercase with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient, geared toward impactful lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding lockups. It can also work for short labels and signage where dense letters and a strong silhouette help maintain presence at a distance.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, combining a utilitarian, industrial feel with a modern, engineered smoothness from the rounded-rectangle curves. It reads as confident and direct—more about strength and clarity than friendliness or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, using a superelliptical skeleton to keep forms consistent and sturdy. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and a uniform, engineered rhythm for modern display typography.
The squared curves make round letters feel compact and sturdy, while the condensed width keeps headlines economical. The numeral set matches the same blocky logic, supporting bold, high-contrast typographic hierarchies where space is limited.
