A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves. Strokes are dense and even, with flat, squared terminals that are subtly softened at corners, producing a sturdy, carved-out silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be small, giving letters a dark, packed rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short ascenders/descenders that keep the texture uniform; the numerals follow the same compact, sturdy construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other short-form display typography where a compact, high-impact voice is helpful. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, modern feel, and works well for signage or labels where space is limited and shapes need to stay bold.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, reading as modern, industrial, and slightly sporty. Its compact width and dense color feel assertive and pragmatic rather than delicate, projecting strength and urgency in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint, using superelliptical geometry to keep the forms contemporary and cohesive. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and uniform texture over openness, aiming for assertive legibility and a modern, industrial character.
The superelliptical rounding is consistent across bowls and curves (C, G, O/Q, 0/8/9), creating a cohesive geometric identity. At text sizes the tight counters and strong weight can make long passages feel heavy, but it excels when used for short bursts where impact matters.
