A compact, tall sans with heavy strokes and a tightly packed rhythm. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters are squarish with softened corners, and curves resolve into flat-ish terminals rather than fully circular arcs. Stems are straight and sturdy with minimal modulation, and many joins feel engineered and symmetrical, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed, poster-like proportions, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure with sturdy counters and short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall height.
Best suited to large-scale applications where density and impact are assets: headlines, posters, titling, signage, and bold branding moments. It can also work for short labels on packaging or UI banners when a compact footprint and strong voice are needed, but extended reading passages will feel heavy and tight.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with an industrial, display-forward presence. Its compressed mass and rounded-rectilinear shapes evoke vintage signage and sports or headline typography, projecting confidence and urgency rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular construction to keep the forms friendly enough for branding while remaining firm and industrial. Consistent geometry and compact proportions suggest a focus on display clarity and a strong, unified texture across all-caps and mixed-case settings.
The squarish counters and softened corners create a distinctive “machined” roundness that stays consistent across letters and figures. In text lines it forms dark, continuous texture, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability.
