A condensed geometric sans with squared-off, superellipse-based curves and consistently heavy strokes. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, with tight apertures and compact spacing that creates a dense, efficient texture. Terminals are clean and largely orthogonal, with minimal modulation and a strong vertical rhythm; diagonals (like in A, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and structural. Numerals and capitals align to a uniform, billboard-like silhouette, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, no-nonsense construction.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a compact footprint and strong presence are helpful. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a modern, engineered aesthetic and consistent, geometric letterforms.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, leaning toward an industrial and technical feel. Its compact proportions and sturdy shapes communicate authority and efficiency rather than softness or expressiveness.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a bold, engineered personality, using superelliptic curves and tight proportions to maintain clarity and impact in display and short-text settings.
Round letters such as C, G, O, Q, and S exhibit squarish curvature that keeps forms controlled and space-efficient. The design favors legibility through clear geometry and strong, simple joins, producing a stable color in text and an impactful presence at larger sizes.
