A compact, condensed sans with a geometric, superelliptic construction: bowls and counters read as rounded-rectangle forms, while vertical stems stay straight and uniform. Stroke weight is heavy and even, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals that keep edges clean rather than softened. Proportions favor narrow widths and tight internal spacing, producing a dense rhythm in words, while round letters (like O/C) feel squared-off by the rounded-corner geometry. Lowercase forms are straightforward and functional, with simple single-storey shapes and sturdy joins.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and display settings where a compact footprint and strong impact are desirable. It can work well in branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a modern, geometric tone and high visual density, especially where space is limited.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a compressed, high-impact presence that feels contemporary and industrial. Its squared-round curves and solid weight project confidence and clarity rather than warmth or delicacy, giving it an efficient, workmanlike voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving, high-impact sans with a consistent superelliptic geometry, prioritizing firmness and uniformity for modern display typography. Its narrow proportions and robust weight suggest an intention to maximize presence and legibility in tight layouts.
The condensed fit and stout strokes create strong horizontal texture in paragraphs, with noticeably dark color at text sizes. Curves remain controlled and somewhat boxy, which helps maintain consistency across letters and numbers and reinforces a technical, engineered feel.
