A compact sans with tall proportions and sturdy, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and decisive, with frequent right-angle joins and consistent stroke weight that keeps the texture even in dense settings. The lowercase stays simple and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a” and compact apertures; numerals share the same narrow, squared-round construction and read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It should work well for signage, packaging, and brand systems that want a modern, engineered look with clear, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense—more engineered than friendly. Its squared-round curves and tight fit suggest signage and equipment labeling, conveying clarity, control, and a slightly industrial edge.
This design appears aimed at delivering maximum clarity and punch in a tight width, using squared-round geometry to stay contemporary while preserving a sturdy, utilitarian voice.
Round letters (like C, O, Q) show superelliptic bowls with noticeably squarer sides, which creates a strong vertical rhythm. The “G” and “Q” incorporate straightforward, geometric spur/tail details that reinforce the technical feel. Spacing appears tuned for compactness, producing a dense, impactful line in the text sample.
