A compact, tightly condensed sans with squared, superelliptical curves and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Forms are built from straight verticals and horizontal terminals softened by rounded corners, creating a tall, efficient silhouette with minimal ornament. Counters are relatively small and controlled, and the overall rhythm is rigid and vertical, with a consistent, engineered feel across letters and numerals. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions where applicable, and the figures follow the same narrow, blocky geometry for a cohesive text-and-display color.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and product or wayfinding labels where space is tight and a firm voice is desired. It can work for brief UI or dashboard labels when a condensed, high-contrast word shape is needed, but long passages will feel dense due to the compact internal spacing.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that reads as functional and authoritative. Its compressed proportions and squared rounding evoke labeling, equipment markings, and pragmatic modern signage rather than friendly editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strict condensed structure with softened square rounding for legibility and a contemporary industrial character. It prioritizes uniformity and repeatable geometry to maintain consistency across the full alphanumeric set.
At text sizes the density is noticeable: narrow apertures and compact counters produce a dark, emphatic line, while the rounded-rectangle shaping keeps it from feeling harsh. The design’s strength is in its consistent verticality and uniform, mechanical cadence.
