A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a compact footprint. Curves are constructed from squared-off, superellipse-like forms, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and consistent, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is steady and blocky with minimal modulation. Lowercase forms are straightforward and functional, with simple bowls and short, sturdy joins that keep texture dense in text.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks where a compact, high-impact voice is useful, such as posters, signage, and packaging. The condensed proportions also make it effective for branding elements and labels where horizontal space is limited and a strong, contemporary presence is desired.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with an industrial clarity that feels engineered rather than expressive. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a slightly friendly softness to an otherwise firm, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-contrast-in-mass sans that stays legible through simplified geometry and consistent stroke weight. Its superellipse construction suggests an aim for a modern, engineered look that remains approachable through rounded corners.
In the sample text, the condensed width and tight counters produce a dark, efficient text color that reads best when given adequate size or spacing. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round construction, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like personality.
