A condensed, monoline sans built from squared, superellipse-like shapes with consistently rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and compact counters, producing a tight, high-density texture. Curves tend to resolve into softened rectangles (notably in C, G, O, and 0), while joins and terminals stay blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is vertical and economical, with short crossbars, narrow apertures, and a generally uniform color across letters and numerals.
Well-suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, signage, and compact branding where vertical economy and strong presence are useful. It can also work for UI labels or product/industrial graphics when a condensed, engineered tone is desired.
The face reads as practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial, label-like voice. Its squared rounds and compressed proportions add a slightly retro, engineered feel—confident and direct rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping shapes clean and mechanically consistent. Its softened-rectangle geometry suggests a goal of combining strict, technical structure with enough rounding to avoid harshness at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms feel especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky logic, keeping a consistent texture in text settings. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly squared bowls and sturdy, simplified construction, supporting clear, space-efficient number strings.
