A compact, heavy sans with squared-off geometry softened by generously rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong, even color on the line. Round letters like O and C read as superellipse-like forms, while terminals are blunt and clean, giving the face a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase is simple and legible, with single-storey a and g, a sturdy t, and a short, functional descender rhythm; numerals match the same compact, heavy construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format copy where its compact, heavy forms create impact. It also works well for signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from a bold, functional presence. For extended reading, it will be more comfortable at larger sizes or with added spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor. Its dense shapes and rounded-rectangle forms feel at home in bold signage and product-driven graphics, projecting confidence and immediacy rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a tight width while staying friendly through rounded corners. Its superellipse-based rounds and blunt terminals suggest a focus on high visibility and graphic consistency across letters and numerals.
The tight internal spaces and thick joins make the face read best when given some breathing room in tracking and line spacing, especially in longer text. The design maintains a consistent rounded-corner logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it feel cohesive in branding systems.
