A compact condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a distinctly rectilinear skeleton softened by rounded corners. Curves are built from squared-off, superellipse-like bowls, giving counters a narrow, vertical feel and producing a tight, efficient texture in lines of text. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, joins are firm, and spacing appears disciplined, supporting dense setting without losing character.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other display roles where space is limited but impact is needed. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a compact, structured voice and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is direct and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and industrial. Its compressed rhythm and blocky curves add a slightly mechanical flavor, making it feel energetic and purposeful rather than soft or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight width, pairing robust strokes with rounded-rectangular geometry for a contemporary, engineered look. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on legibility at larger sizes and a distinctive, space-saving headline texture.
Round letters (such as O, C, and G) retain a boxy curvature, and the narrow apertures and counters emphasize verticality throughout. Numerals share the same condensed, squared-curve construction, keeping headings and mixed text visually consistent.
