A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a distinctly squared-round geometry. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than circular. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, producing a firm, poster-like texture with tight internal apertures and compact spacing. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, constructed skeleton with sturdy verticals and simplified joins; figures follow the same compact, blocky logic for consistent rhythm in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts where dense, high-impact text is needed, such as posters, signage, and packaging. It also works well for branding systems that want a compact, modern wordmark style and for UI labels where space is limited and a strong typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as contemporary and workmanlike. Its condensed proportions and chunky shapes add urgency and authority, making the voice feel practical rather than elegant or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint, combining geometric construction with softened corners for a modern, approachable edge. Its consistent stroke weight and squared-round forms suggest a focus on clarity, reproducibility, and strong silhouette in display sizes.
Round letters like O/Q and C/G show the signature squared curvature, while diagonals in A/V/W/X are kept sturdy to avoid thin spots. The ampersand and punctuation match the same blocky, squared-round construction, helping long lines of text retain a consistent, dense color.
