A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with tight apertures and counters that keep forms dense and sturdy. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than fully circular bowls, and terminals are clean and blunt. The overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, giving the letters a tall, space-efficient profile that stays highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact matter, such as posters, packaging, and label systems. It also works well for signage and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from compact letterforms and strong, even stroke weight.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, projecting strength and clarity over warmth. Its condensed, blocky presence reads as practical and assertive, with a contemporary industrial edge that feels suited to signage-like messaging and punchy headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms crisp, modern, and consistent. It prioritizes clear silhouettes, sturdy texture, and efficient spacing for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round characters such as C, G, O, and Q show superellipse-like bowls with flattened sides, reinforcing a squared, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same compact, sturdy construction, maintaining consistent color in lines of text.
