A tall, tightly set sans with flattened curves and rounded corners that give many forms a squarish, superellipse feel. Strokes stay largely uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and straight, producing strong vertical emphasis. Counters are compact and apertures are relatively narrow, which reinforces the condensed texture and punchy silhouette in both caps and lowercase. Numerals match the same sturdy, compact construction and read as utilitarian rather than ornamental.
Best suited for display contexts where space is tight but impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, and signage. It can also work for branding and packaging systems that benefit from a compact, industrial voice and consistent, sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone is efficient and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that feels contemporary and slightly institutional. Its compressed proportions and blunt, engineered shapes convey confidence and impact more than warmth or elegance.
Likely designed to deliver maximum legibility and visual force in a narrow footprint, using superelliptical, flat-sided curves to create a distinctive, engineered texture. The emphasis appears to be on clear, repeatable geometry and high-impact presentation rather than delicate typographic nuance.
In text, the narrow rhythm creates dense lines and prominent word-shapes, especially through repeated verticals in letters like n, m, and h. The rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the design from feeling purely mechanical, adding a subtle softness at corners while maintaining a strong, constructed look.
