A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, producing squarish bowls and counters with softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with simple joins and minimal modulation, creating a sturdy, poster-friendly texture. The lowercase maintains a practical, straightforward construction (single-storey a and g, compact e, short ascenders/descenders), while figures are similarly dense and blocklike for uniform color in settings.
Well suited to space-conscious headlines, labels, and signage where you want maximum impact in a narrow measure. It can also work for branding and packaging systems that benefit from a compact, geometric voice and consistent, blocky letterforms.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, compressed energy that reads as confident and functional. Its squared-round geometry adds a subtle modern softness while keeping a strong, workmanlike voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed sans optimized for high-impact display typography, using rounded-rectilinear geometry to balance toughness with a contemporary, approachable edge.
The condensed width and chunky shapes create a dark, efficient typographic color; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense counters can feel compact, while at display sizes the superellipse rhythm becomes a defining stylistic cue.
