A condensed sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with corners softened into small radii rather than sharp joins, giving curves a superelliptical feel. Counters are compact and squarish (notably in C, O, D, and e), and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Terminals are clean and flat, proportions are tall with a compact set width, and the overall rhythm is steady and uniform across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labeling, and signage where a condensed, high-contrast presence is useful for fitting text into tight widths. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a technical, industrial edge and a consistent geometric voice.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial signage character. Its compact, squared curves and firm weight convey efficiency and authority, reading as technical and matter-of-fact rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay contemporary while keeping shapes sturdy and highly uniform. The emphasis is on clarity at display sizes and a strong, controlled typographic color.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls create a strong visual signature, especially in the uppercase and the numerals. The lowercase maintains the same squared geometry, and the compact spacing and small counters can make longer passages feel dense, favoring larger sizes and short bursts of copy.
