This typeface is a compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction. Curves resolve into rounded rectangles, giving counters and bowls a boxy softness rather than true circles. Strokes stay consistently thick, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean and mechanical. Proportions are tight with short extenders and minimal interior space, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical rhythm.
It performs best where space is limited but visibility is critical—headlines, posters, packaging fronts, labels, and wayfinding. The dense texture and strong silhouettes hold up well in short lines, brand marks, and bold UI elements such as buttons or navigation items.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that feels contemporary and functional. Its compressed, sturdy shapes read as confident and emphatic, leaning more toward signage and labeling than expressive or delicate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using superellipse-based forms to create a modern, engineered look. It emphasizes consistency, sturdy letterforms, and efficient spacing for high-impact display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show noticeably squarish curvature, and the numerals mirror the same rounded-rectangle geometry for a cohesive texture. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-story construction where applicable and maintains a uniform, compact silhouette that prioritizes impact over airiness.
