This typeface is a compact sans with heavy, even strokes and a tall, space-efficient stance. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that keep shapes coherent at larger sizes. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions and a straightforward rhythm, while figures share the same blocky, slightly rounded structure for a consistent texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, compact voice is needed. It also works well on packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and consistent stroke weight, especially in medium-to-large sizes where the squared-round detailing is most visible.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, balancing toughness with softened corners that keep it approachable. It reads as modern and practical, with a hint of sporty signage energy—more functional than elegant, and more contemporary than retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive rounded-rectangle character. Its simplified forms and robust weight suggest a focus on clarity, durability, and a contemporary display presence.
The narrow set width and compact counters create a dense typographic color that suits short bursts of text and emphatic headlines. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in letters and numerals with bowls, which feel engineered and uniform.
