A condensed sans with sturdy, even strokes and a squared-off, superelliptical construction. Curves read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles, giving counters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and largely flat, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is tight with short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height. Numerals and capitals share the same compact width and strong vertical emphasis, producing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and impactful short text where a compact width and heavy presence help maximize words per line. It can also perform well in branding systems, packaging, and wayfinding where a firm, contemporary sans tone is needed and space is at a premium.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its compact geometry and blunt finishing convey efficiency and control, while the rounded-square curves soften the voice just enough to feel modern rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact communication in tight horizontal spaces while retaining a clean, contemporary finish. Its rounded-rectangular curves and simplified terminals suggest a focus on consistency, reproducibility, and strong typographic color across display sizes.
The uppercase set appears especially rigid and uniform, while the lowercase introduces slightly more openness for readability, maintaining the same squared curve logic. The ampersand and punctuation shown follow the same simplified, sturdy drawing, supporting consistent color in headlines and short lines of text.
