A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and minimal stroke modulation. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish, softened geometry rather than circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, with tight apertures and sturdy, uniform strokes that maintain a consistent rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright construction, matching the overall compact texture.
Well-suited for headlines and short display copy where a strong, space-saving voice is needed. It can work effectively in signage, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a condensed footprint and an industrial-modern texture. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight apertures and dense color have room to breathe.
The overall tone is pragmatic and industrial, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its condensed stance and squared-round forms read as efficient and assertive, favoring clarity and impact over warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a coherent, engineered geometry. Its rounded-rectilinear construction suggests a goal of blending utilitarian clarity with a modern, slightly softened edge.
The typeface produces a dense, dark text color at display sizes, with strong vertical emphasis and compact sidebearings. Rounded corners keep the rigid geometry from feeling harsh, while the narrow set and tight openings add a compressed, poster-like presence.
