A compact condensed sans with a monolinear stroke and a distinctly rectilinear, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and corners, giving letters a squared-off feel while staying smooth and consistent. Counters are tight but clear, with sturdy joins and minimal modulation; terminals are clean and blunt. The overall rhythm is vertical and economical, producing strong word shapes with little horizontal sprawl.
Best suited to attention-setting sizes where space is limited: headlines, poster typography, signage, and packaging or label systems that benefit from a dense, emphatic texture. It can also work for short UI or navigational labels where compact width and strong silhouettes are priorities.
The tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as confident and directive. Its compactness and squared curves lend a technical, system-like character that feels contemporary and functional rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact and legibility in tight horizontal spaces, using a consistent superelliptic geometry to keep the texture uniform and the shapes highly repeatable across the set.
Uppercase forms appear especially architectural, while lowercase keeps the same compressed, rectangular logic for bowls and shoulders. Numerals match the same compact, blocky proportions, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumerics.
