A compact sans with a tall, condensed stance and monoline strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off feel with softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, with consistent stroke weight and minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is tight and economical, with sturdy verticals and slightly softened joins that keep the texture dense but not harsh.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable, such as headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and brand marks. It can also work well for signage and labels where space is limited and letterforms need to stay robust at larger sizes.
The font reads as practical and contemporary, with an industrial, no-nonsense tone. Its rounded-square construction adds a subtle friendliness while retaining a disciplined, engineered character suitable for clear, assertive messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, modern sans voice with strong presence, using rounded-rectangle forms to balance strict geometry with approachable softness.
The superelliptical construction is especially evident in letters with bowls and in rounded forms, which appear slightly squarish and mechanically even. Numerals match the same condensed, sturdy structure, maintaining consistent weight and corners for a unified set.
