A compact, monoline sans with tall lowercase proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes maintain even weight with minimal modulation, while corners and terminals are softly squared, giving curves a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat closed, contributing to a dense, efficient texture in text. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, and the overall spacing feels economical without becoming cramped at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where space is limited and strong letterforms are needed. The condensed, superelliptic construction also fits wayfinding and environmental graphics, as well as brand systems aiming for a modern industrial or technical voice.
The tone is pragmatic and industrious—more functional than friendly. Its squared-round geometry suggests contemporary signage and engineered systems, projecting confidence and directness rather than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space while keeping a clean, contemporary structure. By blending squared geometry with softened corners and even strokes, it aims for a dependable, system-ready aesthetic that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Round characters (like C, O, Q) read as tall, vertically emphasized forms with softened corners rather than true circles. The lowercase shows simplified, workmanlike shapes, and the punctuation and figures match the same robust, no-nonsense construction for consistent typographic color.
