A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in bowls and counters. Curves are squared-off rather than circular, with soft corners that keep the silhouette friendly while maintaining a strong, blocky footprint. Terminals read mostly flat and clipped, with minimal modulation and tight interior spaces that emphasize density. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short-armed “t”, and generally compact bowls; figures are similarly sturdy with simple, geometric forms and consistent width rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting sizes where density and impact are desired—headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging callouts, and signage. Its condensed build and strong weight also make it effective for space-constrained UI labels or dashboards where a firm, high-contrast presence is needed.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, projecting strength and clarity through tight proportions and solid, compact shapes. Rounded corners add approachability, but the dense color and squared curves keep it feeling technical and industrial rather than playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact sans with a geometric, superelliptical backbone—balancing a technical, contemporary voice with softened corners for broader usability in display and identity contexts.
In text, the font creates a dark, even typographic color with a slightly mechanical rhythm; the narrow proportions help fit more characters per line while maintaining a strong presence. Round forms like O/C/G lean toward squarish curves, reinforcing a contemporary, system-like feel.
