A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and broad, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and tight apertures that keep shapes dense and space-efficient. The lowercase stays straightforward and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and simple, functional forms; figures share the same solid, condensed rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its tight apertures and compact spacing can work as a bold, commanding voice—headlines, posters, signage, and branding. It can also function for short bursts of text on packaging or labels, where a dense, condensed look is desired over airy readability.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial directness that reads as modern and no-nonsense. Its compact width and dense internal spaces create a punchy, high-pressure texture that feels at home in attention-grabbing contexts.
Likely intended as a high-impact display sans that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space. The superelliptical construction and blunt finishing aim for a modern, engineered feel while keeping forms simple and highly consistent across the set.
The design relies on strong verticals and squared curves, producing a consistent, stamped look across letters and numerals. Round letters like O/Q and curved joins in S/C/G retain a boxy softness, balancing hardness with controlled rounding.
