A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and a distinctly geometric construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, giving counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are mostly flat and crisp, corners are smoothly rounded, and the overall rhythm is tight with short apertures and sturdy joins. Lowercase forms are large and compact, with simple, monoline structures and minimal modulation across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for signage and UI labels when space is limited, though the dense shapes suggest using comfortable sizing and spacing for longer text.
The tone is forceful and contemporary, with an industrial, no-nonsense character. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, but the dense proportions and solid silhouettes make it read as confident and attention-seeking.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to create a modern, engineered feel. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified forms prioritize clarity at a glance and strong visual identity over delicacy.
The design favors strong verticals and compact interior spaces, producing dark, emphatic text color. Numerals and capitals follow the same squared-round logic, creating a cohesive, signage-like presence in headings and short lines.
