A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off feel with softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and vertical, producing a steady rhythm and dense texture, while apertures stay relatively tight to preserve the compressed silhouette. The overall construction reads consistent and engineered, with minimal modulation and a focus on clean, sturdy outlines.
Works best in headlines, posters, and short statements where a dense, commanding presence is desired. It also suits signage, labels, packaging, and UI callouts that benefit from compact width and robust letterforms, especially in all-caps or tight spaces.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, with a contemporary industrial flavor. Its condensed stance and squared-round forms feel practical and directive, leaning more toward signage and system typography than expressive or delicate editorial styling.
Likely intended as a space-saving display sans that stays highly assertive and legible through simplified, squared-round construction. The design prioritizes consistency, impact, and a modern utilitarian voice over softness or typographic nuance.
Uppercase shapes emphasize verticality (notably in letters like E, F, H, N), and round letters such as O, C, and G show the superelliptical, squared-bowl approach. The numerals share the same compact, blocky logic and appear designed to hold up at distance and in high-contrast reproduction.
