A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-style contours and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are robust and fairly uniform, producing dense counters and a strong vertical rhythm; curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than true circles. Proportions are condensed with short crossbars and tight apertures, while terminals are blunt and softly radiused for a machined, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a simple t with a compact cross stroke, and numerals built from the same squared-round geometry for consistent texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labeling, and other display settings where a compact width and high visual weight help text hold its shape. It works well for signage, packaging, and branding systems that need a durable, industrial voice and consistent numeric styling. For extended paragraphs, it will be most comfortable when given generous leading and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, leaning toward industrial signage and athletic branding. Rounded corners soften the force of the weight, giving it an approachable toughness rather than a sharp or technical coldness. It reads as direct, no-nonsense, and built for attention in limited horizontal space.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient display sans that prioritizes impact and uniformity. Its superellipse construction and rounded corners suggest a goal of combining bold presence with a controlled, contemporary softness suitable for modern brand and signage environments.
Large sizes show a deliberate balance between squareness and curvature, with corners and joins carefully softened to avoid harshness. In longer text, the condensed fit and dark color create a strong typographic “block,” making spacing and line length important for comfortable reading.
