A condensed, heavy sans with a squared, superellipse construction: round letters resolve into rounded-rectangle counters and corners rather than true circles. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with compact apertures and tight internal spaces that emphasize a solid, block-like silhouette. Curves are controlled and slightly squarish (notably in O/C/G/Q), while verticals dominate and terminals finish cleanly without flare. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, and figures are similarly compact with rounded-rect counters, producing a consistent, modular texture across text.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is useful. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and UI elements like navigation or badges when space is limited and strong legibility at larger sizes is desired.
The overall tone is industrial and functional, with a contemporary tech feel and a hint of retro signage. Its compact width and dense color convey firmness and urgency, making it feel assertive and no-nonsense rather than delicate or friendly.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a constrained width by combining monolinear strokes with superellipse geometry. Its controlled rounding and squared structure suggest a goal of looking modern, engineered, and consistent across letters and numbers.
The design leans on consistent corner radii and boxy counters, which keeps word shapes uniform and punchy. In longer lines, the narrow proportions and strong weight create a high-impact rhythm that favors short, prominent statements over relaxed reading.
