A compact sans with squared-round (superellipse) construction and firm, uniform strokes. Corners are generously rounded while sides stay straight, creating a tall, tight rhythm with restrained apertures and compact counters. Curves on letters like C, O, and S read as rounded rectangles rather than circles, and terminals are mostly flat and blunt, reinforcing a solid, engineered texture. Numerals follow the same geometry with clear, blocky silhouettes and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other display applications where a condensed, high-impact texture is useful. It can work well for signage, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a sturdy, engineered tone, especially in short lines or all-caps settings.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a confident, sign-like presence. Its compact proportions and squared curves give it a contemporary, engineered character that reads as practical and assertive rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans built from squared-round geometry, balancing modern cleanliness with a rugged, utilitarian feel. Its consistent, blunt detailing suggests an emphasis on strong silhouettes and clear, repeatable shapes for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the tall, compressed letterforms create a strong vertical cadence and a dense color, which helps short phrases feel impactful. The design’s tight apertures and compact counters emphasize mass and clarity at display sizes, with a noticeably uniform, mechanical consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
