This typeface has compact, condensed proportions built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to finish flat, creating a firm, engineered silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangular or superelliptic, while joins stay clean and controlled, giving letters a sturdy, modular rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and short, functional extenders, reinforcing a streamlined, contemporary feel.
It performs best in headlines and short statements where its condensed width and bold presence deliver high impact in limited space. The structured, rounded-rectilinear construction suits branding, packaging, labels, and signage systems that need a contemporary, engineered voice and consistent numerals.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as assertive and efficient. Its rounded-square forms add a subtle friendliness without losing the disciplined, technical character, making it feel contemporary rather than playful.
The design appears intended to blend geometric precision with softened corners, producing a condensed sans that feels both technical and approachable. Its emphasis on uniform stroke weight and squared-round counters suggests an aim for strong legibility and a distinctive, modern display texture.
At larger sizes the font’s geometry and tight apertures become a defining feature, producing a strong, compact texture in lines of text. The numerals follow the same squared-round logic, matching the caps in weight and presence for consistent display use.
