A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared, softly rounded corners, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel. Apertures are generally tight and terminals are blunt, producing a dense texture and strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase keeps simple, sturdy forms (single-storey a and g), while figures are similarly compact and bold for consistent color in display settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks where a compact footprint is useful. It can also work for attention-grabbing UI labels or signage, particularly when space is tight and a strong typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a no-nonsense, industrial energy. Its compressed width and blocky rounding read as contemporary and sporty, suggesting efficiency and impact rather than delicacy or warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed build with rounded-rectilinear curves for a modern, engineered aesthetic. The consistent stroke weight and blunt terminals suggest a focus on clarity at display sizes and a cohesive, systemized letterform language.
The design’s narrow proportions amplify contrast between vertical stems and internal counters, so spacing and counter-shape become the primary readability cues. The rounded-square geometry is especially apparent in letters like O/C and in the squarish bowls of b/d/p, creating a cohesive, system-like look.
