A compact condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Terminals and corners are consistently softened, creating pill-like joins and squared-off curves rather than fully circular bowls. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be closed, producing a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette with clear vertical emphasis. The lowercase maintains simple, sturdy forms with minimal modulation; the numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-corner geometry for a cohesive, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold typographic lockups where vertical economy matters. It also fits packaging, signage, wayfinding, and product labeling where a condensed, robust voice and consistent geometric rhythm help maintain clarity and presence.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian—confident, space-saving, and built for impact. Rounded corners temper the severity of the condensed proportions, giving it a friendly, manufactured look reminiscent of labeling, signage, and equipment markings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a disciplined rounded-rect geometry to keep forms consistent and sturdy. The softened corners suggest an intention to balance a technical, industrial feel with approachability and smooth reproduction across sizes.
The design leans heavily on straight stems and flattened curves, with many characters reading as if drawn from a single system of rounded rectangles. This gives very consistent texture in lines of text, though the tighter openings and compact counters make it most effective at larger sizes or with generous tracking when used for longer passages.
