A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently weighted strokes. Curves resolve into soft, squared corners, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with short crossbars and economical apertures that keep silhouettes dense. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, reading as a purposeful display face with a controlled, engineered geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where condensed width and strong shapes help pack information into limited space. It works well for signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a robust, engineered look and consistent letterfit.
The tone is industrial and modern, with a utilitarian confidence that feels suited to systems, labels, and bold branding. Its squared-round geometry adds a subtle retro-tech flavor while remaining straightforward and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight width, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance friendliness with an industrial, system-like clarity.
Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, emphasizing a sturdy, blocky texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-round logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for mixed alphanumeric use.
