A compact sans with squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle construction, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and tight internal spaces that make letters read as solid silhouettes. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, while joins are crisp and the overall geometry feels engineered rather than calligraphic. The condensed proportions and relatively short extenders create a dense, efficient texture in text and very strong presence in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, high-impact word shape is needed. It also fits packaging and signage systems that benefit from compact width and sturdy, uniform stroke behavior. For smaller text, its tight counters suggest using comfortable sizes and generous spacing to maintain clarity.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a contemporary, industrial flavor. Its blocky curves and compact rhythm suggest practicality and directness over elegance, making it feel bold in attitude and straightforward in voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a superelliptical construction to keep forms modern and systematic. Its even strokes and squared curves aim for a robust, no-nonsense voice suitable for contemporary display and functional graphic applications.
Round letters (like C, O, Q) are drawn more like rounded rectangles than circles, and many forms have notably tight counters and apertures, which increases weighty “ink” color on the page. The numerals share the same compact, squared-curved logic, supporting consistent signage-style readability.
