A condensed sans with a rectilinear, superellipse construction: counters and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle shapes, giving curves a squared-off feel while keeping corners softly radiused. Strokes are predominantly uniform and heavy, with occasional optical thinning at joins and terminals that keeps the dense forms from clogging. Proportions are tall and compact, with short extenders and tightly contained apertures; spacing looks economical and consistent, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, blocky logic, with flat terminals and clean, unadorned endings.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where a compact footprint and high-impact presence are needed—posters, packaging panels, sports or industrial branding, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can work for short bursts of text, but its dense color and narrow forms suggest using it sparingly or with increased letterspacing for readability.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking signage, machinery labels, and utilitarian graphic systems. Its squared-round geometry reads modernist and slightly retro at once, projecting confidence and a no-nonsense, industrial character.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual force in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to maintain consistency and a recognizable silhouette across letters and figures. The intent reads as a display-oriented, utilitarian sans that balances strict, engineered structure with softened corners for approachability.
The design’s closed shapes and tight apertures create a dark typographic color that benefits from generous tracking at larger sizes. The superellipse bowls and rounded internal corners provide a distinctive identity compared to purely geometric or purely grotesque condensed faces.
