A compact sans with tall lowercase proportions, tight internal counters, and a strong, even stroke that keeps contrast minimal. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and rounds read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles, giving the face a sturdy, engineered feel. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, with crisp joins and little to no flare. The rhythm is dense and efficient, with short extenders and condensed apertures that emphasize verticality and economy of space.
Best suited to attention-forward settings where a compact footprint and strong texture help text hold its shape—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also performs well for short UI labels or signage where space is tight and letterforms need to stay firm at a glance.
The overall tone is direct and workmanlike, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence. Its squared-round construction feels technical and slightly industrial, projecting confidence and clarity rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a dense, high-impact sans built from superelliptical geometry, prioritizing consistency and space efficiency while maintaining clear, contemporary letterforms.
Uppercase forms appear especially compact and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a large, readable core with simplified, geometric detailing. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, keeping a consistent, robust texture in mixed text.
