A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared-off rounds, creating superelliptical bowls and counters, while joins and terminals stay clean and decisive. The uppercase is tall and blocky with simplified geometry; round letters like C, O, and Q read as softened rectangles, and diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are straight and taut. The lowercase follows the same compact rhythm with sturdy stems, open apertures, and minimal modulation; figures are similarly sturdy and geometric, with a tight, efficient footprint.
Works best for headlines, short blocks, and display copy where a compact width and strong presence are helpful. It suits signage and wayfinding, packaging fronts, and brand marks that want an efficient, industrial-modern look, and it can also serve UI labels where space is limited and letterforms need to stay sturdy.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, leaning toward an industrial, signage-forward voice. Its compact proportions and squared rounding give it a contemporary, engineered feel rather than a friendly or playful one, projecting clarity and control in headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a space-saving width, using superelliptical geometry to keep the forms consistent and highly legible at display sizes. Its simplified construction and tight rhythm suggest a focus on functional clarity with a distinctive, engineered silhouette.
Because the forms are condensed and densely built, text sets with strong vertical emphasis and a tight, uniform texture. The rounded-square construction creates a distinctive rhythm across both letters and numerals, making the style especially recognizable at larger sizes.
