A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and a largely uniform stroke weight. The overall drawing favors tall proportions and tight interior counters, with rounded corners softening otherwise rectilinear silhouettes. Terminals are clean and blunt, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and 0) read as rounded-rect forms rather than purely circular shapes. Lowercase forms stay simple and workmanlike, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the condensed capitals and a clear, single-storey a paired with a compact, closed e.
This face is well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where dense, high-impact typography is needed. It also fits packaging, signage, and labels that benefit from compact width and sturdy letterforms, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, projecting a no-nonsense, engineered feel. Its square-rounded geometry adds a slightly retro-industrial flavor while staying contemporary and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while keeping forms highly legible through simplified construction and consistent stroke weight. The rounded-rectangle curves suggest an intention to blend industrial sturdiness with a friendlier, softened geometry.
Spacing and rhythm appear tight and economical, reinforcing a dense texture in text. The figures match the letterforms’ compactness and weight, supporting strong numeric presence in headlines and labels.
