A compact, condensed sans with squared, superellipse-driven curves and blunt terminals. Strokes are essentially monoline, producing an even, sturdy texture with minimal modulation. Counters are tight and largely rectangular-oval, and the overall fit is snug, with short extenders and a tall, vertical silhouette that keeps lines looking dense and efficient. Numerals and capitals share the same no-nonsense geometry, favoring straight sides and rounded corners over soft, fully circular forms.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and space efficiency matter—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or navigation in larger sizes where a compact, high-density look is desired.
The tone is utilitarian and assertive, reading as modern and industrial rather than friendly or expressive. Its compressed rhythm and heavy, blocky shapes give it a poster-like urgency, while the rounded-square curves keep it from feeling sharp or technical in a brittle way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using a consistent rounded-rect geometry to maintain clarity and cohesion across letters and numerals. It prioritizes strong silhouette and compact rhythm for display-driven communication.
Round characters like C, O, and S lean toward rounded-rectangle construction, reinforcing a consistent square-ish skeleton across the set. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, supporting a straightforward, contemporary voice.
