A compact, heavy sans with squared superellipse construction and broadly rounded corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense, ink-trap-free counters and a strong, poster-like silhouette. Curves feel engineered rather than calligraphic, with straight-sided rounds (notably in O/0/C) and crisp horizontal terminals that keep letterforms tight and space-efficient. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a compact t, all designed to hold shape at larger sizes and in crowded settings.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short blocks of copy where strong presence and compact width are useful—posters, signage, packaging, labels, and bold branding systems. It can also work for UI or dashboards when a condensed, high-impact sans is needed for titles and numeric readouts.
The overall tone is firm and pragmatic, projecting an industrial confidence. Its condensed, blocky rhythm reads as no-nonsense and direct, leaning toward signage and headline impact rather than friendliness or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superellipse-based geometry and sturdy, uniform strokes for a clean, industrial display voice.
Round forms are more rectangular than circular, giving the font a consistent “rounded-rectangle” geometry across letters and numerals. Spacing appears intentionally tight, emphasizing a continuous dark texture in text while keeping word shapes distinct through clear, simplified outlines.
