A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and large internal apertures for its width. Strokes stay consistently heavy with little visible modulation, producing an even, solid color in text. Curves read as squared-off rounds (superellipse-like), while terminals are clean and unbracketed, giving the outlines a taut, engineered feel. Counters in forms like C, G, O, and e are compact but open enough to remain legible at display sizes; joins and shoulders are sturdy and minimally tapered.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact, high-impact sans. It can also work for signage and short UI labels where space is limited and a strong, contemporary voice is desired, though extended paragraphs may feel visually dense.
The tone is direct and contemporary, with a built-for-signage practicality and a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its compact proportions and strong silhouettes suggest efficiency and emphasis rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping shapes clean and highly regular. Its rounded-rect geometry aims for a modern, engineered aesthetic that stays consistent across letters and figures for coherent display typography.
In the sample text, the dense rhythm and tall, straight-sided forms create strong line presence, making headlines feel compressed and punchy. Numerals match the same squared-round geometry, keeping a consistent, system-like texture across alphanumerics.
