A compact, heavy sans with tightly condensed proportions and a mostly monoline feel. Letterforms are built from straight, vertical sides with rounded-rectangle curves, producing squarish counters and smooth terminals. The rhythm is dense and consistent, with little modulation, short apertures, and a strong vertical emphasis that keeps words tall and packed. Figures follow the same condensed, blocklike construction for a cohesive texture in alphanumeric settings.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and punchy brand marks where a dense, emphatic voice is needed. It can also work for signage and packaging that benefits from compact width and strong impact, especially in short phrases and display-size settings.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting a practical, industrial confidence. Its compressed stance and solid color give it a headline-first presence, while the rounded corners soften the severity just enough to feel contemporary rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency through condensed proportions and a high-ink, uniform stroke approach. Its superelliptical rounding suggests a deliberate blend of strict geometry and friendly curvature for contemporary display typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape uniformity and high visual density, with tight internal spacing and compact counters that read best at larger sizes. The rounded-rectangle geometry is especially apparent in curved letters and numerals, creating a distinctive squared-round flavor across the set.
