A compact, tall sans with uniform stroke weight and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. The overall silhouette is condensed with tight internal spacing, giving letters a vertical, efficient rhythm. Corners are subtly rounded rather than sharp, while curves stay controlled and slightly squared, producing stable, blocky counters in forms like O, C, and D. Terminals are straightforward and unembellished, and the punctuation and numerals follow the same sturdy, compact geometry for a consistent texture in lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a compact footprint and strong typographic color are beneficial. It can work effectively in posters, packaging, and signage that need impact in limited horizontal space, and it can support branding systems aiming for a modern, industrial-leaning voice.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a slightly industrial feel driven by condensed proportions and squared-round curves. Its strong presence reads assertive and pragmatic, more functional than friendly, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a condensed format, using simple geometry and softened corners to create a robust, contemporary sans for space-efficient display typography.
In the sample text, the condensed width and heavy color create a dense typographic texture that holds together well at larger sizes. The rounded-rectangle shaping gives repeated forms a consistent, engineered look, helping headings feel cohesive and controlled.
