A dense, compact sans with heavy strokes and a tight overall rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off feel with softened corners rather than true circular rounds. Terminals are predominantly flat, joins are sturdy, and interior spaces are relatively small, producing a dark, poster-like texture. Lowercase forms lean toward single-story constructions where applicable, with short extenders and a sturdy, straightforward build.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It works well for branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from bold, compact word shapes and a modern, engineered feel. For extended reading, it’s likely most effective at larger sizes where counters have room to breathe.
The tone is blunt and forceful, with a utilitarian, industrial clarity. Its compact width and squared-rounded shapes read as contemporary and no-nonsense, leaning more toward impact and authority than softness or elegance.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact, space-efficient sans with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette and uniform, sturdy construction for clear recognition in display settings.
The superelliptical rounding creates a consistent ‘machined’ softness—corners are eased but never delicate. Numerals and capitals feel especially signage-ready due to their simplified geometry and strong vertical emphasis.
