A heavy, compact sans with a squared, superellipse construction and strongly rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and tight counters. The proportions are tall and condensed, with short extenders and a prominent x-height that keeps lowercase forms close to the cap height. Curves are built from rounded rectangles rather than circular bowls, and joins are crisp, giving the design a blocky, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy, condensed voice. For long-form reading, it will be more comfortable with generous tracking and line spacing due to its dense counters and weight.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense, industrial feel. Its compact width and dense texture read as efficient and authoritative, leaning more toward utility and signage than elegance or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a compact footprint, using superellipse-based shapes to keep forms sturdy and consistent. It prioritizes bold presence and an engineered, contemporary look over delicate detail.
Openings and apertures are generally restrained, and interior counters stay compact, which increases punch at larger sizes but can build darkness in continuous text. Numerals match the same condensed, squared geometry and maintain a uniform, sign-like presence across the set.
