A condensed, heavy sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and squared-off arcs, producing a compact, engineered rhythm with minimal stroke contrast. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, counters are tight and vertically oriented, and the overall texture reads dense and uniform. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with simple, single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders, while figures and capitals maintain the same compact, rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications where a compact, high-impact voice is needed: headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and short signage messages. It can also work for interface labels or category headers when space is limited, provided sizes and spacing preserve interior clarity.
The tone is utilitarian and modernist, with a retro-industrial edge reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and display typography built for impact. Its compressed proportions and squared curves give it a technical, no-nonsense voice that feels confident and controlled rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint while maintaining a coherent geometric system based on rounded rectangles. The consistent softened corners and condensed rhythm suggest an intention toward contemporary display use with an industrial, technical flavor.
Many glyphs emphasize verticality and tight internal space, which strengthens presence at large sizes but can make dense paragraphs feel dark. The design’s signature comes from the consistent rounded-corner rectangle logic across bowls, joins, and shoulders, giving the alphabet a strong systemized identity.
