A compact, geometric sans with heavy, even strokes and squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles. Counters are tight and controlled, with a consistent rhythm and strong vertical emphasis; terminals are clean and largely flat, avoiding calligraphic modulation. Round letters (O, C, G) feel superelliptical rather than purely circular, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and sturdy, giving the design a dense, efficient texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to bold headlines, signage, and brand marks where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It also fits UI labels and packaging text at larger sizes, where its dense color and squared-round geometry help maintain clarity and consistency.
The tone is modern and pragmatic, projecting firmness and clarity rather than warmth or decoration. Its compact width and robust weight suggest an industrial, engineered sensibility—direct, legible, and assertive in headings and labels.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow space while keeping forms clean and systematically geometric. Its rounded-rectangle construction and sturdy strokes aim for clear recognition and a contemporary, functional look across display applications.
The design’s tight apertures and compact spacing create a dark, economical color on the page, especially in lowercase. Numerals match the letterforms’ blocky geometry, maintaining the same squared-round logic and solid presence.
