A compact sans with squared-round (superelliptic) geometry and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with tight apertures and counters that read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Curves are controlled and slightly flattened at the extremes, while terminals are clean and blunt. The overall proportion is condensed with tall lowercase relative to caps, producing a dense, efficient texture in text.
Works best where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, poster typography, packaging, and identity work that benefits from a condensed footprint. The clear, structured shapes also suit signage, wayfinding, and UI labels where a strong, compact voice is desirable.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial, engineered feel. Its compact forms and firm weight convey confidence and control, leaning toward signage and systems design rather than expressive or calligraphic warmth.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure while keeping shapes highly regular and system-friendly. The superelliptic construction suggests an intention to feel geometric and contemporary, with controlled rounding to prevent the heavy weight from becoming harsh.
Round letters like O/C/G and bowls in B/P/R show a consistent squircle construction, giving the face a distinctive “machined” softness. The lowercase maintains strong differentiation (notably a single-storey a and a compact e), and figures share the same condensed, rectangular logic for cohesive tabular-like appearance in running text.
