A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color in text. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and many curves resolve into flat-ish terminals, giving the alphabet a superellipse feel rather than purely circular geometry. Proportions are vertically efficient with a relatively tall, narrow footprint and straightforward, no-nonsense shapes that stay highly uniform across the set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where a condensed, high-impact texture is desired. It also fits packaging and signage systems that benefit from sturdy, rounded-rect forms and strong consistency across letters and numbers. In extended body text, its tight counters and dense color may feel heavy, so it performs strongest at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered personality. Its squared-round geometry reads industrial and technical, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The condensed rhythm adds urgency and impact, making the voice feel punchy and direct.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping a cohesive, geometric look. Rounded corners and squared curves suggest an intention toward a modern, industrial aesthetic that remains friendly enough for consumer-facing display typography.
The design favors compact counters and sturdy joins, which increases presence at display sizes but can make interior spaces feel tight in longer passages. The numerals share the same rounded-rect logic, maintaining a cohesive, signage-like texture across mixed alphanumerics.
