A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and counters, while straight stems stay rigid and vertical, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Apertures are generally small and terminals are blunt, with corners softened rather than sharply cut. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, keeping lines of text visually packed and strong, and the numerals match the same solid, compact rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where condensed width and heavy weight help maximize presence in limited space. It also fits bold branding and packaging systems that need a sturdy, modern sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle flavor.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, utilitarian energy. Its tight fit and blocky curves feel athletic and industrial, lending a confident, high-impact voice that reads as direct and assertive rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact and space efficiency, combining condensed proportions with a softened, superelliptical geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent stroke weight to stay legible and commanding in display settings.
At larger sizes the superelliptical rounding becomes a defining signature, giving the forms a machined, molded look. In longer passages the density and narrow spacing can create a dark, continuous color, making it better suited to short bursts of copy where impact matters most.
