A compact, condensed sans with a monoline stroke and a geometry built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms. Counters tend to be squarish with softened corners, and curves resolve into straight-ish verticals, giving letters a sturdy, engineered look. The x-height reads tall relative to the caps, with short ascenders and descenders that keep word shapes tight. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with occasional rounded inner corners, creating a consistent, blocky rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where a dense, high-impact voice is needed—posters, packaging, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for UI labels or signage where space is limited and a strong, condensed silhouette improves scanability at a glance.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and modern, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor. Its tight proportions and blunt endings project confidence and directness, making the text feel punchy and mechanical rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint by combining condensed proportions with superelliptical rounds and flat terminals. The consistent monoline construction and squared counters suggest an emphasis on a controlled, industrial texture that stays uniform across a wide range of glyph shapes.
Round characters like O/C/G and numerals adopt squared bowls, which increases a technical feel and helps maintain uniform texture in setting. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions (single-storey forms where expected) and the numerals follow the same compact, squared-round logic for a cohesive palette.
