A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves and strongly vertical construction. Strokes are firm and mostly uniform, with slightly softened corners that keep counters smooth and rectangular-leaning rather than purely circular. The proportions are tall with a high x-height, compact sidebearings, and a tight internal rhythm that emphasizes verticality. Uppercase forms feel architectural and monolinear; lowercase follows the same compact geometry with short extenders and relatively closed apertures, giving text a dense, solid texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a strong vertical presence and compact width help conserve space while staying impactful. It can work for short text blocks at larger sizes when a dense, modern texture is desired, but the closed apertures and heavy color suggest caution for long-form reading.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its tall, compact forms read as assertive and space-efficient, leaning more toward signage and display pragmatism than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint, using superelliptic curves to add refinement to an otherwise straightforward, engineered grotesque structure. It prioritizes bold presence, consistent rhythm, and a clean, contemporary silhouette for display-led typography.
Round letters like O/Q show squared-off curvature, producing counters that feel like rounded boxes. Numerals are similarly condensed and robust, designed to hold their shape clearly at larger sizes while maintaining a consistent dark color across lines.
