A compact, heavy sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and sturdy counters. Curves and bowls tend toward superelliptical shapes, while joins and terminals stay blunt and controlled, giving a machined, geometric rhythm. Spacing reads tight but even, with tall, compact proportions and sturdy numerals designed for impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where density and presence are advantages—headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or signage. It can also work for labels and UI moments that need compact emphasis, though its weight and tight forms favor larger sizes over extended reading.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with an industrial, athletic energy. Its compressed geometry and rounded-square forms evoke utilitarian signage and bold headline typography, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width, using rounded-square geometry for a cohesive, modern-industrial voice. It prioritizes bold legibility and consistent texture across letters and numbers for attention-grabbing display settings.
The lowercase includes simplified, blocky forms with strong vertical emphasis; dots and small details remain robust to hold up at display sizes. Numerals are similarly compact and squared, matching the uppercase’s solid, engineered feel.
