A condensed sans with a tall, compact silhouette and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy with gently softened corners and mostly squared, blunt terminals, giving counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Curves are controlled and slightly squarish (notably in C, G, O, and numerals), while joins stay clean and verticals dominate, producing a tight, efficient rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders and simple, sturdy forms that favor clarity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold typographic statements where narrow letterforms help fit more characters per line. The strong, rounded-rectangle shapes also work well for branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a compact, high-impact sans.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a subtly retro, signage-like flavor from the condensed proportions and softened corners. It feels straightforward and workmanlike, projecting confidence and impact without looking aggressive or sharp.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using softened corners and superelliptical counters to keep the heavy, condensed structure approachable and visually consistent across letters and numerals.
Round elements retain a flattened, superellipse geometry that keeps the texture even and compact in lines of text. Numerals match the condensed, sturdy construction and read well at large sizes, reinforcing a headline-oriented voice.
