A compact sans with a strongly rectilinear skeleton and generously rounded outer corners, giving many forms a soft-rectangular (superellipse) feel. Strokes are heavy and even with clear, open counters; curves tend to resolve into squared bowls and rounded-rectangle terminals rather than true circles. Proportions are tall and space-efficient, with short crossbars and tight apertures that keep the overall rhythm dense and vertical. Numerals and capitals read especially sturdy, while lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with simplified joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and identity work where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts that benefit from dense, space-saving letterforms, while longer paragraphs may feel visually heavy due to the condensed rhythm.
The overall tone is utilitarian and confident, combining a machine-made, industrial presence with a softened edge from the rounded corners. It reads as technical and no-nonsense, with a mild retro signage flavor that feels at home in engineered or urban contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using squared geometry and rounded corners to balance toughness with approachability. The consistent superelliptical construction suggests an aim for strong brandability and clear reproduction at display sizes.
Distinctive superelliptical rounds create a consistent family resemblance across O/C/G and the bowls of B/D/P/R. The narrow interior shaping and compact sidebearings give lines of text a stacked, tightly packed texture, favoring impact over airiness.
