A compact sans with squared, superelliptical curves and consistently heavy vertical strokes. Round letters like O and C read as rounded rectangles rather than circles, with relatively tight apertures and a sturdy, even color. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and the joins keep a controlled, engineered feel rather than a calligraphic one. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with simple single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and a short, functional rhythm that favors dense setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that need a dense, high-impact voice. It can work well in signage and UI labels where space is limited and strong letterforms are desirable, while longer passages may benefit from generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic, with an industrial straightforwardness. Its condensed stance and blocky curvature suggest efficiency and authority, reading more like signage or headlines than a delicate text face.
This design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with rounded-rectangle DNA—prioritizing strength, economy of space, and consistent, engineered shapes for contemporary display use.
The numeral set matches the same compact geometry, keeping rounded-rectangle counters and consistent stroke heft for a cohesive texture. The type’s tight openings and strong vertical emphasis create a firm word shape that holds up well at larger sizes and in high-contrast layouts.
