A compact sans with tall proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circular geometry. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt with subtly rounded corners, producing a solid, blocky texture. Apertures are relatively tight and spacing is economical, creating a dense, vertical rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where density and impact are desirable, such as posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or navigation where a compact footprint is useful, provided sizes are sufficient for the tighter apertures.
The overall tone feels practical and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, slightly industrial flavor. Its compressed stance and sturdy shapes read as confident and direct, suited to messaging that needs to feel strong, efficient, and modern rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary voice. By combining blunt, rectangular construction with softened corners, it aims for an engineered, approachable sturdiness that remains highly legible and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The numerals follow the same compact, squared-round logic as the letters, staying consistent in weight and presence. Round letters like O/C/G lean toward a squircle silhouette, while straight-sided letters keep crisp edges softened by small radii, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
