A compact, condensed sans with a squared–rounded (superelliptical) construction that gives curves a rectangular feel and keeps counters tight and controlled. Strokes are heavy and uniform in presence, with subtly softened corners and mostly straight-sided verticals that emphasize a strong, vertical rhythm. Round letters like O/C/G read as tall rounded-rectangles, while joins in forms like m/n/h are smooth and arched, maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry. Numerals match the same narrow proportions, with simplified, blocky silhouettes designed for clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, logos, and packaging where a dense, high-impact word shape is desirable. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from compact width and sturdy, simplified letterforms, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is firm and contemporary, with a utilitarian, poster-ready confidence. Its compact shapes and squared-round curves suggest industrial signage and modern branding, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a no-nonsense, assertive voice.
The font appears intended as a condensed display sans that maximizes impact and space efficiency while maintaining a cohesive rounded-rectangular geometry. Its consistent construction and tight rhythm aim to deliver bold, modern typographic presence for branding and editorial display.
The design relies on tight apertures and compact counters, creating a dense texture in paragraphs and a strong silhouette in headlines. Curved terminals are generally blunt and squared-off rather than calligraphic, reinforcing the geometric, constructed feel.
