A heavy, compact sans with squared-round (superelliptical) construction and consistently low stroke modulation. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls, while terminals are clean and flat, giving a crisp, engineered finish. Proportions are tight and condensed with short extenders, compact counters, and a steady rhythm that stays bold and legible even in small internal spaces. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and a sturdy, functional skeleton, and the numerals follow the same robust, geometric logic.
Best suited to display settings where you want maximum impact in minimal horizontal space—headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. The sturdy shapes also work well for signage, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a modern, industrial confidence. Its dense, blocky presence reads as direct and utilitarian rather than delicate or expressive, making it feel at home in high-impact, straightforward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a dense, highly legible display sans with a squared-round geometric flavor, prioritizing impact and clarity over refinement. Its superelliptical curves and blunt terminals suggest an aim toward contemporary, system-friendly branding and bold typographic utility.
Round letters like O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R emphasize the rounded-square geometry more than circular forms, which reinforces the compact texture. The bold weight and condensed width create a strong vertical emphasis, and the punctuation and figures match the same blunt, high-contrast-in-mass silhouette.
