A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and blunt terminals. Strokes stay largely even, producing dense letterforms with minimal modulation and tight internal counters. The uppercase is tall and economical, while the lowercase keeps straightforward construction with simple joins and short apertures, maintaining a consistent, engineered rhythm. Curves (C, O, S, 2, 3) read as rounded-rectangle forms, and the figures are similarly robust and compact for clear, punchy numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact sans is needed. The sturdy, squared-round shapes also fit packaging and signage applications that benefit from an efficient footprint and a firm, contemporary presence.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed massing and squared rounding suggest contemporary utility—confident, direct, and slightly sporty—favoring impact over delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual strength in limited horizontal space, using superellipse geometry to keep forms modern and consistent. Its emphasis on uniform stroke weight and compact counters suggests an intention toward practical display typography with a controlled, engineered character.
The design leans on strong verticals and restrained curvature, creating a steady texture in text. Tight counters and compact spacing make it feel powerful at display sizes, while the uniformity keeps it visually disciplined across letters and numbers.
