A condensed sans with tall proportions, monoline strokes, and a consistent rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout curves and counters. Corners are softened rather than sharp, giving stems and bowls a squared-but-rounded geometry. Apertures are generally tight and counters are compact, producing a dense, efficient rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Terminals are mostly flat and clipped, while forms like O/0 and C show the characteristic squarish curve profile; numerals follow the same compact, vertically oriented logic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where space is limited and a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for labels, UI titling, and product branding that benefits from a structured, technical look with softened corners.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, combining a technical, engineered structure with a slightly friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as modern and functional, with an assertive presence suited to direct, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint, using a squared-round construction to evoke engineered clarity while keeping the feel approachable. Consistent stroke weight and compact counters reinforce a pragmatic, display-oriented voice.
In text settings the condensed width and compact internal space create a strong vertical texture, helping headings stack tightly. The punctuation and figures visually match the letterforms, maintaining the same squared-round motif for a cohesive, system-like feel.
