A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-style curves and broadly uniform stroke weight. The design favors narrow counters and tight apertures, with rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals that feel clipped and engineered rather than calligraphic. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and Q read as softened corners on a rectangular skeleton, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and sturdy. Numerals share the same dense, boxy construction, maintaining a consistent dark color across the set.
Best suited for display settings where bold, space-efficient headlines are needed—posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and wayfinding or label-style signage. Its compact width helps fit more characters per line while keeping a strong, even typographic color.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, with an industrial, signage-like directness. Its condensed, blocky rhythm evokes retro athletic and workwear typography while remaining clean and contemporary in execution. The strong silhouette and simplified forms give it a no-nonsense, impact-first personality.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and legibility at a glance, using a squared geometric skeleton with softened corners to stay friendly while remaining rugged. The consistent weight and condensed build suggest an emphasis on strong silhouettes and efficient headline setting rather than delicate text rendering.
Interiors and joins are kept tight, which amplifies weight and presence but reduces openness in smaller sizes. Several shapes lean toward a quasi-stencil feeling due to enclosed counters and narrow internal whitespace, especially in letters like B, D, P, R, and the lowercase a/e. The lowercase is built with the same geometric rigor as the uppercase, producing a uniform texture in mixed-case settings.
