A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with mostly straight-sided verticals and horizontal terminals that emphasize a rectilinear rhythm. Counters are tight and rectangular in feeling, and the overall proportions favor height over width, producing a stacked, efficient texture in lines of text. The lowercase follows the same boxy construction, with simple joins and minimal modulation for a crisp, engineered look.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and storefront or wayfinding signage where its compact width and strong silhouette help maximize presence. It can also work in branding and product identities that aim for an engineered or contemporary industrial feel, especially at medium to large sizes.
The face reads as pragmatic and mechanical, with a contemporary, tech-leaning tone. Its rounded-square geometry softens the severity of the condensed mass, balancing toughness with approachability. Overall it conveys efficiency, control, and a slightly industrial character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create a distinctive, modern texture. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on clarity and repeatable shapes for display typography and functional communication.
The design maintains strong consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with rounded-rectangle forms recurring across bowls and counters. At text sizes the tight apertures and dense weight create a dark, poster-like color, making spacing and line height important for comfortable reading.
