A compact, tightly set sans with tall, straight-sided proportions and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong vertical emphasis. Round letters take on a squared, superelliptical geometry (notably in O/C/G), while joins and terminals are softly rounded rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is uniform and upright, with short extenders, a large x-height, and compact apertures that prioritize blocky silhouettes over airy openness.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, packaging, and signage where space is limited and a strong vertical punch is desired. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from compact width and squared-rounded geometry.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a slightly retro, poster-like punch. Its squared curves and compressed stance suggest industrial labeling and mid-century display typography, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using superelliptical curves and uniform heavy strokes to create a sturdy, easily recognizable silhouette. It favors bold, industrial clarity over delicate detail, making it well adapted to display-driven communication.
Numerals and capitals read particularly well as solid shapes, with distinctive, condensed figures that feel made for signage. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense counters may begin to fill in, while at display sizes the superelliptical construction becomes a defining stylistic feature.
