A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and corners, giving round letters a superellipse feel rather than circular construction. Vertical stems are dominant and straight, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, poster-friendly texture. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, and the overall rhythm reads as tall, economical, and highly controlled.
Best suited to display roles where a tight footprint and strong presence are useful, such as headlines, posters, signage, labels, and brand marks. The condensed proportions make it practical for space-constrained layouts, while the heavy, even strokes deliver impact in short bursts of text.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its squared curves and dense set feel technical and efficient, while the softened corners keep it from becoming harsh. The overall impression is confident and attention-forward without ornamental flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient sans with a recognizable superellipse structure and strong vertical emphasis. It prioritizes punchy legibility and a consistent geometric voice for contemporary, functional typography.
Distinctive superellipse bowls show up strongly in characters like C, O, and G, creating a signature “rounded-square” silhouette. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic with generous weight and clear, simplified forms that hold up well at larger sizes.
