A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are largely uniform and vertical, with softened corners and small radiused terminals that keep counters compact and rectangular. Round letters (O, C, G, 0) read as superelliptical forms, while joins in n, m, u, and w create narrow interior apertures and a tightly packed rhythm. Uppercase proportions are tall and columnar; lowercase is compact with a short x-height and minimal modulation, and figures follow the same narrow, blocky logic for strong line economy.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed, such as headlines, poster typography, wayfinding, product packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation items where a compact, high-presence style is desirable.
The overall tone feels retro-modern and functional—like signage, labels, and display typography from mid-century industrial contexts. Its compact width and sturdy shapes give it an efficient, no-nonsense voice with a slightly stylized, streamlined character.
The design appears intended to combine condensed economy with a softened, superelliptical geometry, delivering a bold display sans that remains cohesive and legible through consistent rounded-rectangle forms and tight, vertical proportions.
Distinctive details include the rounded, pill-like vertical stems, the squared-off curves on bowls, and a generally tight internal spacing that increases density at smaller sizes. The sample text shows strong word-shape consistency, with punctuation and numerals matching the same compact, engineered geometry.
