A compact, heavy sans with tall, narrow proportions and a squared, superellipse construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with little to no visible contrast, and most curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters rather than true circles. Corners and terminals are softly rounded, keeping the texture dense but not sharp, while apertures stay relatively tight, producing a solid, poster-like color across lines. The overall rhythm is disciplined and vertical, with simplified geometry and consistent stroke endings that emphasize a robust, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that need maximum impact in limited horizontal space. It also works well for packaging, signage, and short UI labels where a compact, high-ink presence helps establish hierarchy and immediate readability at display sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting strength and urgency in a compact footprint. Its rounded-rectangle forms add a subtle friendliness to an otherwise industrial, authoritative voice, making it feel modern, pragmatic, and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans built from rounded-rect geometry—prioritizing a strong silhouette, consistent density, and space-efficient width for modern display typography.
Uppercase forms read especially tall and compressed, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded-rect logic for a cohesive set. The dense counters and narrow widths create a strong texture that holds up in large sizes and tight layouts where impact matters more than delicate detail.
