A compact, heavy sans with a tight, condensed stance and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with soft corners and broad, flat terminals that create a blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and apertures are restrained, producing dense color and strong vertical rhythm; round letters read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles. Lowercase forms are sturdy and tall, with short extenders and a large x-height that keeps the texture even and emphatic in lines of text.
Best suited to display sizes where dense weight and condensed proportions can maximize impact in limited space—headlines, posters, in-store signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for sports or event graphics and short, emphatic messages where strong texture and compact width are advantages.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-driven energy. Its rounded-block geometry adds a friendly, slightly retro playfulness while keeping an assertive, attention-grabbing presence.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with minimal fuss: thick, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangular forms that read quickly and feel robust. The condensed, high-density construction suggests an intention toward space-efficient display typography with a distinct geometric personality.
Letterforms show a deliberate preference for simple, geometric joins and minimal modulation, giving the font a consistent, stamp-like solidity. The numerals and capitals maintain the same squared-round logic, helping mixed-case settings and alphanumeric strings feel cohesive and highly impactful.
