A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared-off rounds, giving bowls and counters a superellipse feel, while corners are softened rather than sharp. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with small apertures and counters that stay consistent across the set. Terminals are generally blunt with slight rounding, producing a dense, even texture in words and a strong vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where space is tight and impact is needed. It performs well in short bursts of text—titles, labels, and UI callouts—where its condensed rhythm and sturdy shapes remain legible at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its softened geometry adds a friendly edge to an otherwise industrial, no-nonsense voice, suggesting mid-century signage and contemporary display branding at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a minimal width, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the weight feeling solid while avoiding harshness. It aims for a practical, display-first voice with a consistent, engineered silhouette across letters and numerals.
Capitals present a uniform, columnar silhouette that reads as compact and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains the same narrow, sturdy build for coherent mixed-case setting. Numerals share the same squared-round geometry, keeping the set visually consistent in headlines and short data strings.
