A compact, condensed sans with thick, even strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction throughout. Counters tend to be small and squared-off with softened corners, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, while joins and inside corners are consistently rounded, giving a sturdy but approachable silhouette. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms with minimal modulation and a steady rhythm, and the numerals follow the same squared, soft-cornered logic for a cohesive set.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a compact width and high impact are useful. It also fits branding applications like logos and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, geometric voice and a consistent, soft-cornered aesthetic.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and confident, like signage or packaging typography that aims to be loud and clear. Its softened corners keep it from feeling harsh, lending a slightly playful, retro-industrial flavor while staying straightforward and modern.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual presence in a narrow footprint, pairing industrial strength with rounded friendliness. The superellipse-based shapes and uniform stroke system suggest an intention for cohesive, easily repeatable forms that hold up in bold display settings.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces make it visually powerful at larger sizes, while the uniform stroke weight and squared counters create a strong, graphic pattern across lines. Round letters read more like rounded boxes than circles, reinforcing the mechanical, engineered character.
