This typeface is built from compact, heavy strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners. Curves in letters like C, O, and S read as squared-off superellipses, while verticals and horizontals stay consistently thick for a solid, monoline feel. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, creating dense silhouettes and strong word shapes at display sizes. The overall rhythm is uniform and sturdy, with minimal detail and few modulation cues beyond the rounded joins and terminals.
It performs best in headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact sans is needed. The sturdy shapes and rounded-square curves suit labels and packaging, as well as sports or event graphics that benefit from a strong, condensed voice.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a compact, poster-like presence that feels industrial and athletic. Its rounded-square forms add a friendly softness to an otherwise tough, utilitarian voice, suggesting retro signage and high-impact headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms bold and cohesive. Its simplified, monoline structure prioritizes punchy readability and a consistent, graphic texture for display typography.
Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, rounded-corner construction, helping mixtures of text and figures feel consistent. In longer sample lines, the dense texture and tight internal space make it most comfortable when given generous tracking or larger sizes.
