A condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a compact set width. Curves resolve into softened, squared-off bowls, giving round letters a superellipse-like feel rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are predominantly flat and crisp, with minimal modulation and a steady vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean closed, producing dense word shapes; the numerals and capitals follow the same blocky, rounded-rectangle logic for a highly consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage where dense letterforms help conserve space while staying legible. It can also work for UI labels and tab-style navigation where a compact, sturdy sans is needed, but will be most comfortable at display sizes.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, with an engineered, no-nonsense presence. Its compactness and squared-round geometry read as industrial and efficient, projecting clarity and authority without feeling decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, powerful sans voice with rounded-rectilinear geometry, balancing strict construction with softened corners. The consistent stroke weight and tight rhythm suggest an intention to create strong typographic color for modern display and branding applications.
The design’s narrow proportions and tight internal spaces make it visually impactful, especially in all-caps settings. Rounded corners soften the weight, preventing the shapes from feeling harsh while maintaining a strong, poster-like color on the page.
