A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and heavy, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, apertures are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with minimal modulation and a clean, engineered silhouette across letters and numerals.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where condensed width helps fit text into narrow spaces. It also works well for signage and labels that need strong silhouette recognition and a firm typographic presence.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, industrial flavor. Its tight width and weighty color produce an urgent, headline-forward voice that feels practical and no-nonsense rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive geometric feel. By combining blunt terminals with rounded-rectangle curvature, it aims for a modern, engineered look that stays friendly enough for contemporary branding.
Rounded corners and rectangular counters create a distinctive “softened block” look that stays consistent between upper- and lowercase. The figures and capitals read especially strong at display sizes, while smaller sizes may feel dense due to the compact spacing and tight internal shapes.
