A compact sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a distinctly squared-round construction in bowls and counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Proportions are tight and efficient, with short ascenders/descenders and a relatively small x-height in the lowercase, creating dense texture in text. Terminals are blunt and clean, and several forms favor closed or partially closed apertures, reinforcing a solid, blocky silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and logo or wordmark work where a compact footprint is useful. It can also serve packaging and UI labels where a sturdy, condensed voice is needed, though longer text will read heavy and dense.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a sturdy presence that reads as contemporary and slightly industrial. Its compact rhythm and squared curves lend a technical, system-like character while staying approachable through softened corners.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining clear, geometric letterforms. Rounded-square construction suggests an aim for a modern, engineered look that remains friendly through softened corners rather than sharp angles.
Uppercase forms are tall and condensed, with simple geometry and minimal modulation; the numerals match the same squared-round logic and appear designed for strong at-a-glance recognition. In continuous text, the dense color and tight proportions emphasize impact over airiness, especially in smaller sizes or long passages.
