A condensed sans with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circular bowls, producing compact counters and a tight, efficient rhythm. Terminals are predominantly blunt with subtle rounding, and proportions stay tall and narrow in both cases, with a straightforward, engineered feel. Figures follow the same boxy logic, reading clearly at display sizes with minimal flourish.
Well-suited to headlines and short statements where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It can work effectively in posters, packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from condensed, high-impact letterforms and consistent rounded-corner geometry. For longer text, it will read best when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a hint of retro signage and athletic lettering. Its compact, squared curves give it a no-nonsense voice that feels modern-industrial rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans built from squared curves and softened corners. It prioritizes a consistent, engineered silhouette that remains legible and bold in display contexts while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish.
The rounded-corner geometry is consistent across letters and numerals, helping the design feel cohesive in dense settings. The condensed width and tight internal spaces create strong color on the page, making spacing and line breaks feel compact and controlled.
