A tall, compact sans with squared proportions softened by superellipse rounding. Strokes are heavy with noticeable vertical emphasis and crisp, flat terminals; curves resolve into rounded-rectangle corners rather than true circles, giving counters a boxy softness. Uppercase forms are narrow and architectural, while lowercase stays similarly compact with tight apertures and sturdy joins. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic with uniform, sign-like silhouettes and clear, rigid geometry.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short UI labels or technical callouts when space is tight, but the dense apertures and strong geometry are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a slightly retro, machinery-and-signage character. Its condensed stance and squared rounding project authority and efficiency while keeping a friendly edge through softened corners.
The design appears intended to merge strict, engineered structure with softened superellipse rounding, creating a condensed sans that reads as modern-industrial and highly graphic. It aims for strong presence and consistent, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Many shapes show deliberate squaring of bowls and counters (e.g., round letters and numerals read as rounded rectangles), producing a strong rhythm in blocks of text. The compact spacing and closed apertures increase density and impact, especially in headings and short lines.
