A compact, tightly proportioned sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly even, with minimal contrast and a distinctly vertical, engineered rhythm. Curves are squared-off into superelliptic bowls, while terminals are blunt and consistently rounded, giving counters a narrow, slot-like feel in several letters. The set reads as a uniform, space-efficient design with tall ascenders/descenders and concise apertures that keep word shapes dense and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for wordmarks and labels that benefit from an industrial, space-saving sans with rounded-rectangle character.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, with a slightly retro, signage-like presence. Its condensed stance and squared rounds convey efficiency and directness, while the rounded corners add a friendlier, more approachable edge than a purely hard-edged grotesk.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-visibility sans built from superelliptic forms—combining the practicality of a condensed display face with softened corners for a more modern, approachable finish.
In text, the tight internal spacing and compact apertures produce a strong vertical texture and high color density. Numerals match the same squared-round logic, supporting consistent typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
