A condensed, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and squared-round (superelliptic) curves that make bowls and counters feel like rounded rectangles. The overall drawing is clean and mechanical, with tight apertures, short terminals, and a strongly vertical stance. Curves transition into straights with minimal modulation, producing crisp corners softened by consistent rounding. Spacing and proportions favor compact width and tall lowercase structure, keeping lines dense and efficient while retaining clear letter differentiation.
Well suited to space-efficient headlines, poster typography, packaging, and wayfinding where a dense, high-impact word shape is desirable. It also fits contemporary branding systems that want a sturdy, engineered feel, especially at medium to large sizes where the compact forms and tight apertures remain legible.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, projecting strength and practicality rather than friendliness or elegance. Its compact rhythm and squared-round geometry give it an industrial, engineered character that reads as direct and confident in headlines and labels.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptic forms and uniform strokes to create a consistent, contemporary texture. Its restrained detailing suggests an intention toward functional display typography that stays clear, bold, and system-ready across varied contexts.
Round letters (like O/o and 0) are notably boxy in their curvature, and junctions tend to be straightforward without calligraphic influence. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, blocky logic, creating a cohesive, signage-like texture when set in all caps or mixed case.
