A compact, heavy sans with squared-off, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are even and robust, with flat terminals and tight internal counters that stay clear despite the weight. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals and a tidy, workmanlike lowercase; bowls and rounds (C, O, G, e) read as rounded-rectangular rather than fully circular, giving the face a geometric, engineered rhythm. Numerals are similarly blocky and upright, matching the same softened-rectangle geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a dense, high-impact line can carry at a distance. It also fits packaging, labels, and UI or product branding moments that benefit from a compact, industrial voice and consistent geometric forms.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, engineered solidity. Its softened corners keep it approachable, but the condensed heft and rigid geometry convey authority and efficiency rather than softness or charm.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, engineered look. By combining condensed proportions with softened rectangular curves, it aims to be both assertive and controlled, staying legible and visually consistent in display settings.
The punctuation and details visible in the sample (notably the compact colon and apostrophe) follow the same straight-sided, rounded-corner logic, helping text stay uniform and tightly set. The face produces a strong, dark typographic color that remains legible in short bursts and prominent lines.
