A compact sans with a geometric, superellipse construction: curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish softness. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with minimal modulation and crisp, clean joins. Proportions are condensed with tight interior space, producing a dense texture in text while keeping outlines smooth and controlled. Terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall rhythm is steady and engineered rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display use where a dense, high-impact sans is needed: headlines, posters, packaging labels, and brand marks that benefit from compact width and strong silhouettes. It can also work for short UI titles or navigation elements, but in longer text its tight apertures and heavy color will feel more emphatic than neutral.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, projecting strength through density and simplified geometry. Its rounded-square forms add a contemporary, industrial friendliness without becoming playful, keeping the voice practical and confident.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, high-visibility sans with a modern superelliptical skeleton—balancing strict geometry with softened corners for a controlled, contemporary look.
Curved letters (like O/C/G) read as softly squared, while verticals dominate the silhouette, reinforcing a compact, signage-like presence. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with clear, straightforward shapes intended for quick recognition.
