A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with a tall, condensed silhouette and tight internal counters that stay open through softened joins. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, giving a stamped, blocky rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, Y) feel sturdy rather than sharp, and round letters (O, Q, C) read as rounded rectangles. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, engineered texture, producing a dense, even color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and compactness matter—posters, signage, product packaging, labels, and UI callouts. It can also work for subheads and navigation where a strong, space-efficient voice is needed, but its dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long paragraphs.
The tone is functional and no-nonsense, with an industrial, equipment-label feel. Its rounded-square geometry adds a modern, tech-adjacent friendliness while keeping the overall impression firm and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-square construction to balance toughness with contemporary polish. Its consistent stroke and softened corners suggest a goal of legibility and reproducibility across bold display contexts.
The condensed proportions and heavy weight make word shapes highly vertical and punchy, with clear rectangular spacing patterns. Lowercase forms are simple and compact, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall heft, reinforcing a tight, economical texture.
