A compact sans with squared-round (superellipse-like) construction and consistently heavy strokes. Counters are tight and openings are relatively small, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle terminals, and many joins read as softened corners rather than true circular bowls. The overall rhythm is vertically emphatic, with short crossbars and compact curves that keep letterforms efficient and space-saving.
It performs best in short bursts of text—headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding—where the condensed, compact forms can carry strong contrast against surrounding space. The dense color and tight counters also suit packaging and branding applications that need a sturdy, contemporary presence.
The font feels assertive and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense, industrial tone. Its squared-round geometry gives it a modern, manufactured character that reads as practical rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient sans with strong impact, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay friendly enough while remaining firmly utilitarian. Its compact proportions and sturdy stroke mass suggest an emphasis on clarity and visual force in display settings.
The superelliptical rounding is especially apparent in characters like O/C/G and the numerals, which avoid fully circular geometry in favor of squarer curves. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, reinforcing a functional, signage-oriented voice.
