A compact, heavy sans with tightly drawn proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with small apertures and squared terminals softened by consistent rounding. Curves read as superelliptical rather than fully circular, giving bowls and counters a sturdy, engineered feel. Spacing is economical and the overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, producing strong color in lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as headlines, posters, and branded lockups where dense typography is an advantage. It can also work well on packaging and signage that benefits from strong presence and compact width, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly vintage, poster-like energy. Its condensed heft and rounded corners balance toughness with approachability, evoking utilitarian signage and bold editorial headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping a cohesive, rounded-rect geometry. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest an emphasis on bold, modern readability with a subtle retro-industrial flavor.
The uppercase set feels particularly tall and compact, while lowercase retains simple, functional shapes that stay robust at display sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic, maintaining a consistent texture across mixed alphanumerics.
