A condensed, heavy sans with compact widths and a tall lowercase that keeps the texture dense and efficient. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity, while straight strokes stay crisp and uniform. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that emphasize solidity. Numerals follow the same compact, high-impact construction for consistent rhythm alongside caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where a compact, high-impact look is desired. It also fits branding, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, space-saving sans with a modern geometric flavor.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, projecting a direct, no-nonsense voice. Its squared-round geometry feels contemporary and engineered, balancing approachability from the softened corners with a strong, compressed presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint, using superellipse-inspired rounds to keep forms clean and contemporary while maintaining a strong, utilitarian texture.
The condensed proportions and dense color create strong line economy, and the tight internal spaces make the design read as punchy and compact at larger sizes. The geometric rounding is consistent across curved letters, helping the set feel cohesive even with mixed-case text and figures.
