A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and subtly rounded corners throughout. Curves tend toward squarish, superellipse-like bowls rather than perfect circles, giving letters a sturdy, engineered geometry. The x-height reads tall relative to the caps, with short ascenders/descenders and firm vertical stress that produces a dense, even rhythm in text. Counters are relatively small and apertures are somewhat closed, reinforcing a solid, blocky texture. Numerals match the same narrow proportions and rounded-rectangle logic, maintaining consistent color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
Best suited to display roles where dense, impactful letterforms are an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and wayfinding or label systems. It also works well for compact UI headers or dashboards where vertical space is limited and a strong typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with an assertive, signage-like presence. Its condensed build and squared-round forms feel industrial and efficient rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting clarity and urgency in headlines and labels.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in tight widths by combining a tall lowercase with condensed proportions and squared-round geometry. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest a pragmatic, contemporary sans aimed at bold, space-efficient communication.
Round letters like O/C/G read more like softened rectangles than circles, and junctions are clean with minimal flare. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions (notably the single-storey a) and a compact, vertical emphasis that keeps lines tight and uniform.
