A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) counters and softly radiused outer corners. Strokes are consistently heavy with little contrast, producing a firm, blocky color and strong vertical emphasis. Curves resolve into squared bowls and rounded terminals, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and structural. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate, supporting dense settings without losing the distinct, stencil-like clarity of its apertures and counters.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—posters, packaging panels, product branding, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It also works well for short technical callouts and numbers, where its squared counters and sturdy weight keep forms legible at a glance.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, labeling, and equipment markings. Its compact proportions and squared roundness read as confident and no-nonsense, projecting a modernized, machine-made personality rather than a neutral corporate calm.
The design appears intended to merge geometric efficiency with softened corners, creating a condensed workhorse that feels mechanical yet approachable. By basing round shapes on rounded rectangles and keeping stroke widths consistent, it aims for strong, repeatable forms that hold up in bold, space-conscious settings.
Round letters (O, Q, 0) are notably squarish, with generous corner radii that keep them friendly while staying rigid and architectural. Numerals follow the same squared construction, giving dashboards and data-heavy text a cohesive, engineered look.
