A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and compact internal counters. Curves are built from squared-off, superellipse-like forms: round characters read as rounded rectangles, with smooth, controlled curvature and minimal modulation. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, giving a clean, engineered finish, while joins stay tight and consistent. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, and overall spacing feels economical to reinforce a dense, vertical rhythm.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wayfinding, packaging fronts, and bold branding wordmarks where a compact footprint is useful. Its dense rhythm also suits labels, UI section headers, and editorial titling where space is constrained but a strong voice is needed.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that feels contemporary and workmanlike. Its compact, sturdy shapes convey confidence and efficiency rather than softness or delicacy, making it feel suited to functional messaging and strong labels.
The design appears intended to deliver an efficient, condensed voice with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—combining straightforward sans structure with rounded-rectangular curves for a modern, engineered look that holds up in bold display use.
Narrow proportions and tight apertures create a strong silhouette at display sizes, while the squared-curved geometry gives the design a distinctive “rounded-rectangle” personality. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, blocky stance, emphasizing uniformity and impact.
