A compact, tall-proportioned sans with uniform stroke thickness and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. The letterforms are narrowly set with tight interior counters, giving a dense, vertical rhythm. Round characters such as O/C/G read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/N) feel rigid and engineered. Terminals are clean and flat, with minimal modulation; punctuation and numerals follow the same sturdy, condensed geometry for consistent texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding where a compact footprint and strong impact are desirable. It also works well for brand marks and short UI labels that benefit from a firm, space-efficient voice, especially in all-caps settings.
The overall tone is pragmatic and assertive, with a distinctly contemporary, engineered feel. Its condensed stance and squared-round shapes suggest signage, labeling, and other settings where efficiency and firmness matter more than warmth. The voice is confident and no-nonsense, leaning industrial rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a strong, structured silhouette and consistent monoline weight. Its superellipse-inspired curves and tight proportions prioritize uniformity and punch, aiming for a modern, industrial clarity across letters and numerals.
The condensed width and tight counters create strong presence at display sizes, but also produce a dense typographic color that can feel forceful in longer passages. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially evident in the bowls and curves, contributing to a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
