A condensed sans with blocky, superellipse-inflected curves and compact proportions. Strokes stay largely uniform, with flattened terminals and squared counters that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Round letters like C, O, and G feel more like rounded rectangles than circles, while joins and shoulders (as in n, m, and r) are tight and controlled. The overall texture is dense and emphatic, with narrow interior spaces and a tall, prominent lowercase presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact footprint with strong visual impact. It also works well for signage-style labels and short UI headings where vertical clarity and a firm rhythm are more important than airy readability.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial, utilitarian flavor. Its condensed density and squared curves read as modern and mechanical rather than friendly, lending a strong editorial voice that feels decisive and practical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in tight horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with squared, superellipse-like round forms. The consistent stroke behavior and restrained detailing prioritize clarity and a robust, industrial finish.
Digits follow the same compact, squared-curved logic, giving numerals a sturdy, sign-like presence. In longer lines, the font maintains a consistent vertical cadence, though the narrow counters and dense color suggest it will benefit from generous tracking and line spacing when set in paragraphs.
