A compact, vertically oriented sans with a strong, blocky build and consistently rounded rectangle geometry. Strokes read largely monolinear, with softened corners and squared-off curves that produce superelliptical counters in letters like O, C, and D. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient, with relatively small interior apertures and a sturdy baseline presence. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, engineered proportions, giving the set a cohesive, utilitarian texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding that benefit from condensed impact and a sturdy, engineered feel. It also works well for signage and packaging where space is tight and a strong, uniform typographic color is desirable, particularly at display sizes.
The tone is industrial and no-nonsense, suggesting signage and machinery-era pragmatism rather than warmth or elegance. Its rounded-square forms add a controlled friendliness, but the overall impression stays disciplined, technical, and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette. Its rounded-rectangular construction suggests a focus on geometric consistency and a technical, contemporary voice that stays readable and stable in bold display applications.
Round letters avoid true circularity, instead relying on rounded-rectangle silhouettes that keep curves tense and controlled. The lowercase appears compact with short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height, reinforcing a dense, space-efficient color. The design’s uniform stroke behavior and blunt terminals help maintain consistent texture across mixed-case settings and numerals.
