A compact sans with tall proportions and tightly packed letterforms, built from straight verticals and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes stay largely even, with squared terminals and gently softened corners creating a superellipse-like geometry. Counters are small and vertical, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with minimal flare or modulation across stems and joins. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, with rounded corners and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines and display applications where space is limited and a strong vertical impact is desired—posters, branding wordmarks, packaging panels, and wayfinding or signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a compact, sturdy tone is needed.
The tone is direct and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its tight, vertical stance and squared-yet-softened shapes suggest contemporary signage and industrial labeling, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using superellipse-based rounds and squared terminals to create a clean, engineered texture. It prioritizes compactness and visual punch over airy openness, making it effective for attention-grabbing display typography.
The condensed width and compact counters create strong word shapes at larger sizes, but also produce a packed texture in continuous reading. Curved letters like O/C/G read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, reinforcing the geometric, engineered feel.
