A condensed, all-purpose sans built from squared, superelliptical curves and straight-sided bowls. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with rounded corners that keep the geometry from feeling harsh. Counters tend to be narrow and tall, apertures are controlled, and terminals are clean and mostly flat, creating a tight vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, compact proportions, giving lines of text a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits wayfinding, product labels, and packaging that benefit from a technical, space-efficient sans with strong vertical emphasis.
The overall tone reads industrial and slightly futuristic, with a retro technical flavor reminiscent of signage and equipment labeling. Its compact forms and rigid geometry convey efficiency, control, and a purposeful, utilitarian attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-contrast-on-page presence using a consistent rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes a disciplined, industrial look with clear, repeatable forms that hold together in bold display settings.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle construction shows up across both curved and straight glyphs, producing a coherent, modular feel. The condensed width increases density in text, and the simplified shapes keep word silhouettes crisp at display sizes.
