A very heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry and pronounced vertical stress. Strokes are wide and compact, with crisp, square terminals and frequent internal cut-ins that create narrow counters and vertical slots—especially visible in letters like A, M, N, and W. Curves resolve into squared rounds rather than true circles, giving O/Q/0 a pill-like silhouette. Spacing reads tight and the rhythm is dense, with small apertures and sturdy joins that keep word shapes chunky and uniform.
Best suited to display applications where impact and presence are the priority—posters, event headlines, product branding, packaging, and bold signage. It performs particularly well at medium to large sizes where the internal cut-ins and tight counters remain legible and contribute to the font’s distinctive texture.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor. Its dense blacks and engineered cut-ins evoke signage, machinery markings, and poster-era display typography, projecting strength and urgency more than warmth or refinement.
The likely intention is a high-impact display face that translates superelliptical, rounded-rect forms into an industrial, engineered voice. The repeated slot-like counters and firm terminals suggest a goal of creating a memorable, mechanical texture that holds together in dense headline blocks.
The design relies on repeated vertical slot motifs and stepped/boxed interior shapes that can resemble stencil breaks at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, producing bold, compact figures suited to attention-grabbing settings.
