A compact, heavily built sans with tight proportions and a distinctly squared-round (superellipse) construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Counters are small but carefully kept open for the style, while curves (C, G, S, O, Q) read as rounded rectangles rather than geometric circles. The lowercase is tall and utilitarian, with single-storey forms where visible (notably a) and short, sturdy joins that keep the rhythm rigid and vertical.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where dense, high-impact text is needed in limited horizontal space. It works well for posters, packaging, labels, and branding that benefits from a sturdy, compressed voice. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes or with generous line spacing to offset the heavy color and tight counters.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial, compressed energy that feels built for commanding attention. Its blocky curvature softens the aggression slightly, keeping it contemporary rather than overtly retro. Overall it communicates urgency, solidity, and a straightforward, workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence per character: a compressed, uniform-weight sans with rounded-rectangular curves that stays modern and highly legible at display sizes. Its consistent geometry and blunt finishing suggest a practical display workhorse for bold messaging and space-efficient typography.
The narrow set and heavy color create strong vertical emphasis and tight word shapes, especially in all caps. Numerals appear robust and compact, matching the letterforms’ squared-round logic, which helps maintain a consistent texture in mixed text and headlines.
