A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving letters squared shoulders, smooth corners, and generally closed apertures. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, counters are tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and efficient, producing a strong blocky texture in text. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded-corner construction for a consistent voice across alphanumerics.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a compact width and strong presence are useful, such as posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage. It can also work for UI or dashboards in larger sizes where a dense, technical tone is desired.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, with an industrial, engineered feel. Its tight, squared curves and heavy presence read as confident and pragmatic rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests a deliberate, systematic approach aimed at consistent, robust shapes across the set.
Uppercase forms appear especially compact with minimal flourish, while lowercase maintains simple, sturdy structures that keep word shapes stable. The condensed width and tight spacing create a strong vertical emphasis and a solid typographic “wall” when set in paragraphs or headlines.
