A condensed, heavy sans with a tall lowercase and tightly controlled proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and joins feel engineered and sturdy. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with generous internal counters for the weight and clear differentiation between similar forms across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, storefront and wayfinding signage, packaging callouts, and bold brand wordmarks. The tight width and tall lowercase can also help in UI labels and dashboards where density and clarity matter at larger sizes.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence. Its dense footprint and squared curves feel contemporary and functional, leaning more toward signage and labeling than expressive or delicate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width while maintaining clean, modern geometry. The rounded-rectangle construction and steady stroke weight suggest a focus on legibility and consistency for contemporary display and signage applications.
Round letters like C, G, O, and S keep a controlled, slightly squarish curvature, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) read crisp and stable at display sizes. Numerals match the same compact, weighty voice, supporting a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
