A compact, condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves tend to resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel. Terminals are generally flat and blunt, with tight apertures and dense interior spacing that creates a strong, poster-like color. Capitals are tall and narrow, while lowercase follows the same compact logic with sturdy stems, short joins, and simple, closed forms.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, wayfinding, and bold UI labels. It also works well for logo wordmarks and branding that benefit from a compact footprint and a sturdy, squared-modern voice.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a no-nonsense, engineered feel. Its squared softness reads contemporary and industrial at once—friendly at the corners but firm in stance—making it feel suited to systems, labels, and bold messaging rather than delicate editorial work.
Likely designed to deliver maximum strength and economy of space through condensed proportions and rounded-rectangular forms, while keeping construction simple and consistent. The emphasis appears to be on bold legibility at a distance and a coherent, modern industrial texture across letters and numbers.
The numerals share the same squared-round geometry and heavy presence, maintaining consistent rhythm alongside letters. The font’s narrow proportions and tight counters make it visually powerful but can reduce clarity in very small sizes or in long passages, where spacing and interior openings may feel compact.
