A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and soft corners rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and tight counters that hold together well at large sizes. The overall rhythm is vertical and efficient, with consistent widths and sturdy joins that keep the texture dense and uniform across lines.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited and strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and signage. It also works well for bold wordmarks and short UI labels that benefit from a compact, high-impact texture.
The tone feels utilitarian and industrial—confident, direct, and built for impact. Its condensed stance and squared curves give it a pragmatic, engineered character that reads as contemporary and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility in a tight footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to maintain a distinctive, engineered look while keeping letterforms simple and robust. It prioritizes punchy readability and consistent texture for modern display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G appear more superelliptical than circular, reinforcing a boxy, mechanical feel. The numerals share the same compact, squared-curve construction, keeping headings and mixed alphanumeric settings visually cohesive.
