A compact, heavy sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction and mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into broad superelliptical bowls, while joins are crisp and corners are softly squared rather than fully circular. Proportions are tight with short extenders and wide vertical stems, producing dense word shapes; apertures tend to be small and counters are robustly enclosed, especially in round letters. The overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent terminals and a firm, stable baseline presence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, forceful sans can carry strong contrast against a background. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a sturdy, engineered aesthetic. In longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes where tight counters and dense spacing remain comfortable.
The tone is pragmatic and muscular, leaning industrial and contemporary. Its compact forms and squared rounding suggest efficiency and toughness rather than elegance, giving it a confident, no-nonsense voice. The bold silhouette reads as assertive and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice built from rounded-rectilinear geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette, uniform stroke emphasis, and a compact footprint for impactful display typography.
Round forms like O and Q appear constructed from rounded rectangles, and several letters show distinctive angular-to-rounded transitions that reinforce the engineered feel. The numerals are similarly stout and compact, suited to prominent display sizing where shape clarity comes from mass and silhouette more than open apertures.
