A compact sans with tall proportions and a strongly uniform stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squared, superellipse feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, joins are tight, and spacing feels economical, producing a dense, vertical rhythm that stays crisp in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction and heavy presence, reading as solid and utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable, such as posters, packaging, branding wordmarks, and wayfinding. It also fits UI labels and dashboards where tight horizontal space and sturdy letterforms help maintain clarity at small-to-medium sizes.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, engineered character. Its condensed build and squared-round curves evoke signage, equipment labeling, and modern UI typography where clarity and firmness matter more than softness or flourish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, high-visibility sans with a distinctive squared-round geometry. It prioritizes efficient width, strong presence, and consistent construction to create a modern, technical voice that remains legible and controlled across display and text-like settings.
Round letters like O/C/G show noticeably squarer curvature, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/N) appear especially rigid and architectural. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike construction with minimal calligraphic influence, reinforcing a consistent, system-like texture in text.
