A compact, condensed sans with monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into softly squared corners, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and a consistent, sturdy rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and tight; lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with clear stems, simple joins, and restrained apertures.
This font is well suited to headlines and display typography where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, packaging, and brand marks. Its compact width and sturdy forms also fit wayfinding, labels, and signage, particularly in bold, high-contrast layouts where the squared-round geometry can carry a strong visual identity.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, combining modern geometric discipline with a slightly industrial, engineered edge. The rounded corners soften the voice just enough to feel approachable while staying firmly utilitarian and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a tight, space-efficient sans with a distinct rounded-rect geometry, balancing friendliness with a robust, engineered presence. It emphasizes uniformity and repeatable shapes to create a recognizable, modern texture across letters and numbers.
Round letters like O, C, and G read as squarish ovals, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive set. The condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and efficient word shapes, especially in all caps and short bursts of text.
