A condensed, heavy sans with a squared–rounded (superelliptic) construction and predominantly straight-sided curves. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, terminals are mostly flat, and corners are consistently softened rather than sharp. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, giving letters a dense, efficient texture; curves like C, G, O, and S read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and tightly set. The lowercase has a tall x-height with simple, vertical structures, and the figures are similarly compact and robust, built for strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where compact width and strong color help text command attention. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a firm, space-efficient sans with clear, geometric shapes.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its dense proportions and squared curves convey strength and clarity, leaning toward an urban/industrial voice rather than a friendly or lyrical one.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, pairing geometric, superelliptic forms with heavy, even strokes for high visibility. The emphasis on uniform structure and squared rounding suggests a goal of modern, system-like consistency across letters and figures.
Spacing appears tight and rhythmically consistent, producing a solid typographic “wall” that emphasizes impact. Round letters stay controlled and boxy, and joins and shoulders keep a restrained, modular geometry that reads well in all-caps and short bursts of text.
