A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction that keeps curves broad and corners softly rounded. Strokes are consistently thick with little contrast, and many joins resolve into crisp right angles, giving the design a blocky, engineered rhythm. Counters are relatively tight but clean, with simplified apertures and short terminals that emphasize solidity. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, sign-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, branding, packaging, and signage where strong letterforms and a compact footprint are advantages. It performs well in short bursts—titles, labels, badges, and UI callouts—especially when you want a sturdy geometric voice. For long-form reading, it’s likely most effective at larger sizes where the tight counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of stenciled or machine-made lettering without overt distress. Its mass and compact width read as confident and punchy, lending a sporty, poster-forward energy. The rounded-square geometry keeps it approachable while still feeling tough and functional.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with minimal fuss: a bold, space-efficient sans built from rounded-rectangular forms for consistent texture and high visibility. The simplified geometry and tight, sturdy proportions suggest an emphasis on display use, reproducibility, and a modern-industrial personality.
In mixed-case settings the lowercase maintains strong presence and resists delicacy, producing dense, even color at larger sizes. The punctuation and simple shapes (like the dot on i/j) are kept minimal and square-ish, reinforcing the engineered theme. Straight-sided curves and flattened arcs are a recurring motif that makes the font look especially consistent in all-caps.
