A tightly condensed sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with corners softened into squared curves and counters that read as vertical ovals or superellipses. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tall proportions, short crossbars, and minimized apertures that keep letters dense and space-efficient. Numerals and capitals follow the same squared, engineered logic, giving the set a uniform, modular texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography where space is limited and strong impact is desired—headlines, posters, product labels, and bold brand wordmarks. It also works well for wayfinding and signage systems that benefit from condensed width and high visual authority.
The face feels industrial and technical, with a streamlined, utilitarian confidence. Its compact, squared forms suggest signage, machinery, and digital-era branding, projecting a no-nonsense and slightly futuristic tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice using a consistent rounded-rectilinear geometry. It prioritizes uniformity and a modern, engineered silhouette, aiming for legible, space-saving display text with a distinctive technical personality.
Round letters such as O/Q and bowls lean toward rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, reinforcing the superelliptic theme. The condensed width and heavy stroke mass create strong word shapes at display sizes, while smaller sizes may appear dense due to tight internal space.
