A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners rather than true circles, giving counters a squared, compact feel. Proportions are tall with a high x-height and short ascenders/descenders, producing dense text color and efficient horizontal fit. Terminals are clean and blunt, apertures stay relatively tight, and spacing is even, creating a steady, engineered rhythm across words and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where compact width and strong presence are useful. It also fits labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, system-like sans with a contemporary geometric character.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial voice. Its compact shapes and firm geometry feel confident and functional, leaning more toward signage and systems than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangular geometry. It prioritizes consistency, density, and a clear, industrial-modern texture for display and graphic communication.
Rounded corners soften the otherwise hard-edged geometry, keeping the forms friendly while maintaining a strict, structured silhouette. The condensed width and tight internal spaces make it feel best when given enough size and breathing room in layout.
