A condensed sans with sturdy, uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact apertures and short crossbars that keep word shapes dense and emphatic. Numerals and capitals share the same blunt, engineered construction, while the lowercase stays simple and highly legible with minimal modulation and consistently rounded terminals.
Well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding where a compact width and strong color are useful. It also works for branding and logotypes that benefit from an industrial, rounded-rect aesthetic, and for short UI labels where space is limited and clarity is important.
The overall tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, like labeling and signage, but the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh. It reads as slightly retro-industrial—confident and straightforward—while still approachable thanks to the softened edges and even texture.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using a consistent monoline structure and rounded-rectangle forms for a cohesive, easily recognizable texture. Its softened corners suggest an aim to balance utilitarian efficiency with a more approachable, contemporary finish.
Several forms emphasize straight-sided bowls (notably in letters with rounded parts), which creates a distinctive squared-off silhouette at text sizes. The condensed proportions and tight counters make it most effective when given a bit of tracking and adequate line spacing, especially in long passages.
