A condensed sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently heavy strokes. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circular bowls, giving counters a superelliptical feel and keeping forms compact. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, with minimal modulation and a tight, efficient footprint that reads clearly at large sizes. Numerals and lowercase share the same sturdy, engineered geometry, with a tall lowercase proportion that keeps the word shapes vertical and dense.
Well-suited to headlines and short display copy where compact width and strong presence are beneficial. It works effectively for signage, packaging, and branding marks that want a streamlined, engineered look, and can also serve in UI labels or product naming where clarity and tight set width are priorities.
The overall tone is functional and industrial, with a contemporary, tech-adjacent character. Its softened corners temper the severity of the condensed structure, balancing a machine-made feel with a slightly friendly, approachable edge.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectilinear shapes. It prioritizes a consistent, industrial geometry for clear recognition and a modern, equipment-like aesthetic in display settings.
The design leans on rectangular counters and squared joins for rhythm, producing a consistent, gridlike texture across lines. Wider forms such as M and W remain controlled and compact, reinforcing the typeface’s economical, space-saving presence.
