A compact, condensed sans with superelliptic curves and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with minimal modulation and tight internal counters that give the letters a dense, poster-like color. Curved forms (C, G, O, e) read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles, while verticals dominate and terminals are clean and blunt. Spacing is economical and the overall rhythm feels engineered and consistent, with sturdy punctuation and numerals that match the same rounded-rect geometry.
Best for headlines, subheads, packaging, labels, and signage where you want a compact footprint with strong impact. It also works well for logos, badges, and UI callouts that need a condensed, sturdy sans with softened geometry.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, mixing a mid-century/industrial display feel with modern clarity. Its compressed build and chunky forms create an efficient, no-nonsense voice that can also lean playful in large sizes because of the softened corners and quirky superellipse shapes.
The likely intention is to provide a condensed, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangle forms—combining the efficiency of narrow widths with a friendly, softened edge for contemporary branding and bold display typography.
The design’s distinctive identity comes from the combination of compressed proportions and rounded-square construction, which keeps the texture smooth while maintaining a strong, sign-painting or label-like presence. In longer text the dense counters and narrow apertures make it feel better suited to short lines or larger settings than extended reading.
