A compact sans with heavy, low‑contrast strokes and a distinctly squarish, superellipse construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, giving letters a blocky footprint with softened corners. Proportions are condensed with tight sidebearings, and many forms show relatively closed apertures and sturdy joins, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with simplified geometry that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where a compact, high-density texture is an advantage. It also fits signage and packaging that need strong legibility at a glance, and branding that wants a modern, industrial-leaning voice.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, with a no-nonsense, engineered feel. Its condensed heft reads confident and attention-getting, leaning toward functional signage energy rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a friendly, rounded-rectilinear character. Its consistent superellipse geometry suggests a focus on modularity and clarity, optimized for bold display settings.
The lowercase mixes rounded bowls with compact, slightly enclosed counters, while figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive texture in mixed text. At larger sizes the softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, but the tight internal space makes the texture feel dark and compact in longer passages.
