A condensed sans with monoline strokes and corners that resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) terminals and curves. The verticals are dominant and the overall set is compact, with tight counters and a strong, even color at text sizes. Round letters like O/C/G read more squared-off than circular, while joins and shoulders are softened rather than sharp. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, keeping a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a compact, high-impact sans is needed, such as posters, packaging panels, product labels, and wayfinding. It also fits UI or dashboard-style applications where a technical, space-efficient texture is desirable.
The tone is functional and industrial, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and technical documentation. Its squared-round geometry feels modern and controlled, with a no-nonsense voice that prioritizes clarity and uniformity over expressiveness.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-saving sans built from squared-round geometry, balancing firmness with softened corners for smoother readability. It aims for an engineered, consistent system feel that holds up in bold display settings and dense layouts.
The uppercase forms are tall and commanding, while the lowercase stays relatively restrained, producing a slightly top-heavy texture in mixed-case lines. Apertures and counters are kept compact, contributing to a dense, authoritative look in longer passages.
