A condensed sans with tall proportions and a heavy, even stroke. Letterforms are built from squared, superellipse-like shapes with consistently rounded corners, giving curves a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, and terminals are generally flat with occasional angled cuts on diagonals, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Lowercase follows the same compact geometry with a straightforward, single-storey structure where applicable and tight, efficient apertures.
Best suited to short display settings where density and punch are desirable: headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and bold logotypes. The condensed build helps fit long words into tight spaces while maintaining a strong presence, making it a good choice for wayfinding-style graphics and technical or industrial branding.
The overall tone is functional and industrial, with a slightly futuristic edge. Its compact width and squared curves evoke labeling, hardware, and system-like typography—direct, no-nonsense, and built for impact at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum clarity and impact in a compact footprint, using squared superellipse construction and rounded corners to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes uniform stroke presence and a modular, engineered feel for modern display typography.
Distinctive features include the boxy, rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in characters like O/0 and D), the narrow interior spaces, and the consistent corner rounding that keeps the design cohesive even at bold display sizes. Numerals match the uppercase in weight and stance, supporting a uniform, signage-oriented texture in mixed text.
