A compact, heavy sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with rounded corners and mostly straight-sided strokes. Counters are small and rectangular, with tightly controlled apertures and minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, uniform color. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true rounds, and joins stay crisp and geometric. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic with short extenders and a tall x-height, while the figures are similarly squared and monoline in feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where its dense geometry can read as intentional and bold. It can also support logo wordmarks and display typography for industrial, tech, or retro-themed branding, especially when given breathing room.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, with a condensed, engineered presence that reads like labeling and hardware. Its rounded-square geometry adds a slightly retro, arcade/industrial flavor without becoming playful, keeping the voice direct and no-nonsense.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining a consistent, modular geometry. By using rounded-rectangle construction and tight counters, it prioritizes a strong silhouette and a clear, engineered identity for display use.
In text, the tight internal spaces and compact proportions create a strong black mass that rewards generous tracking and ample line spacing. The squared bowls and notched terminals give it a subtly mechanical rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
