A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly contained counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R a superelliptical, squared-round feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are generally blunt, with subtle rounding at corners that keeps the texture from feeling sharp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a narrow, sturdy s; overall spacing and letterfit read tight and efficient, producing a dense, poster-friendly rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where density and impact are desired. It also fits packaging, labels, signage, and identity work that benefits from a condensed, sturdy voice and a slightly retro-industrial presence.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro, workmanlike energy. Its rounded-rectilinear construction adds a friendly, toy-block character while still feeling tough and utilitarian, making it come across as confident and a bit playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping shapes approachable through rounded, superelliptical construction. It balances utilitarian efficiency with a softened, geometric personality for display-driven typography.
The strong, consistent stroke weight and small internal apertures make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the rounded corners and compact counters remain clear. Numerals share the same condensed, blocky build and feel visually integrated with the letters.
