A compact sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a tight overall footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-round, superellipse feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with crisp joins and minimal stroke modulation. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and simple, direct constructions; the numerals are wide and solid with clear interior counters and squared rounding at corners.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, and branding where its compact width and dense color can carry presence. It also works well for packaging and wayfinding-style signage when a sturdy, contemporary sans is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the squared-round detailing is most apparent.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as practical and engineered. Its rounded-rectilinear curves add a friendly softness to an otherwise assertive, high-impact voice, making it feel contemporary rather than retro.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans that feels engineered and contemporary, using superelliptical rounding to keep the forms approachable while preserving a strict, utilitarian structure.
Spacing appears compact, and the heavy stroke weight emphasizes counters and apertures as the main sources of differentiation. The overall rhythm is steady and block-like, with consistent corner rounding across letters and figures that helps maintain cohesion at larger sizes.
