A compact, heavy sans with softly squared, superellipse-based curves and broad, simplified counters. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, giving the shapes a dense, even color and strong silhouette at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, G) feel like rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) are clean and sturdy with blunt terminals. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, with single-storey a and g, a short, firm-shouldered r, and a square-topped t; figures are similarly blocky and straightforward.
Best suited to headlines and short-form text where strong presence matters—posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and brand marks that need a compact, punchy sans. It also works well for badges, labels, and UI headers where a sturdy, geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, balancing toughness with approachable rounded corners. Its compact geometry and sturdy construction suggest a practical, no-nonsense voice with a slightly playful, sporty edge.
The likely intention is a high-impact geometric sans that reads quickly and feels modern, using superellipse-inspired rounding to soften an otherwise industrial, condensed build. It appears designed to deliver bold emphasis and consistent texture across mixed-case and numerals.
The design emphasizes clear, high-impact silhouettes and consistent rhythm, with tight internal spaces that reinforce a solid, poster-ready texture. Curves transition into straights with controlled rounding, creating a cohesive “soft-rectangular” motif across letters and numerals.
