A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and a tight overall footprint. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters feel squarish with softened corners, producing a superelliptical rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves transition quickly into straighter segments, giving letters like O/C/G and the numerals a firm, engineered silhouette. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and sturdy joins; spacing reads slightly tight, reinforcing a dense, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks that need a compact, modern presence. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a firm, engineered look is desired, though longer text will read as visually heavy and tight.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence. Its rounded corners keep the voice approachable while the compact, weighty construction adds urgency and impact, making it feel direct and contemporary rather than friendly or delicate.
The design intent appears to be a strong, space-efficient sans that merges geometric discipline with softened corners for a contemporary, industrial-friendly feel. It prioritizes consistent stroke weight and compact proportions to deliver a bold, steady typographic color at large sizes.
Uppercase proportions appear tall and compact, and the lowercase maintains a pragmatic, simplified construction that favors clarity over calligraphic detail. Numerals share the same squared-round logic, staying visually consistent in width and mass, which helps maintain an even typographic color across mixed content.
