A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical construction and noticeably rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with counters tending toward rounded-rectangle shapes and tight apertures that keep forms dense. The proportions are condensed with short horizontals and tall verticals, producing a stacked, efficient silhouette. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is regular and grid-friendly across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and wayfinding where compact width and strong presence are beneficial. It can also work for UI titles or dashboard headers when a dense, technical voice is desired, but the tight apertures suggest using it at moderate-to-large sizes for clarity.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and technical rather than friendly. Its compressed, blocky forms feel forceful and functional, with a contemporary signage and equipment-label energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry. The rounded-rectangle skeleton suggests a deliberate blend of hard-edged industrial structure with softened corners for smoother texture.
Uppercase shapes emphasize rectangular geometry (notably in E, F, H, and M), while round letters like O and Q retain a squared, softened profile. The numerals match the same compact, engineered feel, with strong vertical emphasis and minimal decorative detail.
