A condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: counters and bowls read as squarish superellipses with softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with occasional rounded joins that keep the texture smooth at display sizes. The proportions are tall and compact, with tight apertures and sturdy, rectangular counters that give lines of text a dense, even color.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a dense, impactful texture is desirable. It works well for posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a technical or industrial voice, and can be effective in signage or labels where narrow width helps fit content into constrained spaces.
The overall tone is mechanical and purposeful, combining a contemporary, engineered feel with a slightly retro techno flavor. Its squared curves and compact stance project efficiency and control, making it read as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and efficient space usage through condensed proportions and sturdy, squared-round construction. Its superelliptical curves and blunt terminals suggest a focus on contemporary, system-like typography that stays legible while feeling distinctly engineered.
Letterforms emphasize straight-sided construction: shapes like O/Q and 0 are boxy with rounded corners, and diagonal letters (A, V, W, X) are sharply drawn for a crisp, angular presence. The lowercase keeps a functional, simplified structure (single-storey a) and maintains the same compact, rectilinear logic as the caps.
