A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are broadly uniform and end in flat terminals, with curves shaped more like rounded rectangles than circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superellipse feel. The design relies on simple geometry and consistent stroke behavior, producing crisp silhouettes and dense word shapes; apertures are relatively tight, and joins stay clean and controlled. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, blocky logic, with a clearly upright stance and practical punctuation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where compact width and strong presence are assets. It can also work well for branding, packaging, labels, and signage that need a modern, space-efficient voice and clear, sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense character. Its condensed, high-impact presence reads as contemporary and functional rather than friendly or decorative, lending a slightly authoritative, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, geometric sans structure. Its rounded-rectangle curves and uniform strokes suggest a goal of consistent texture, straightforward legibility at display sizes, and a contemporary industrial tone.
Round letters such as O/C/G and the lowercase bowls show noticeably squared-off curvature, which helps maintain even texture in long lines. The narrow width concentrates black density, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability at smaller sizes.
