A compact sans with sturdy, monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves tend to resolve into squared-off bowls and superellipse-like counters, giving letters a built-from-rounded-rectangles feel. Terminals are blunt and consistent, apertures are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense with short extenders and small internal spaces. Uppercase forms are tall and straight-sided, while lowercase keeps a high midline and simplified shapes (single-storey a and g), maintaining a uniform, engineered texture across text.
Works best in headlines, posters, branding systems, and packaging where a compact footprint and strong, uniform color are beneficial. It also suits wayfinding and interface labels when space is constrained and a firm, utilitarian voice is desired.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a slightly industrial, signage-like presence. Its condensed, blocky silhouettes feel confident and direct, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectilinear forms, balancing strict geometry with softened corners for a modern, engineered aesthetic.
The numerals and capitals match the same squared-rounded geometry, producing a cohesive, modular look. Punctuation and dots appear robust and straightforward, reinforcing the font’s functional, display-forward character.
