A condensed sans with a squared, superelliptic construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals, producing a compact, engineered silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with minimal modulation and generous internal counters for the width, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes. The uppercase is tall and tightly set in feel, while the lowercase stays straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with a simple, monoline presence and a narrow footprint.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a compact width and heavy presence help text stand out in limited space. It also fits packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, contemporary condensed look, and it can work for short UI or navigation labels when set with sufficient size and spacing.
The overall tone is functional and industrial, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded-square shaping adds a friendly, softened edge to an otherwise strict, condensed rhythm, reading as modern signage and tech-adjacent rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton. By keeping stroke contrast low and shapes consistent, it aims for dependable readability and a cohesive, industrial-modern character across letters and figures.
Corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular, giving letters a stamped or molded quality. The condensed proportions create strong vertical rhythm in text, and the superelliptic bowls keep characters feeling cohesive across cases and numerals.
