A compact, heavy-stroked sans with squared-round construction and broadly consistent stroke weight. Curves are drawn as softened rectangles rather than pure circles, giving counters a superellipse feel, especially in C, G, O, and the bowls of b/d/p/q. Terminals are blunt and straight, with minimal modulation and tight apertures; the overall rhythm is dense and economical. Uppercase proportions are tall and compressed, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with single-storey a and g and short, sturdy joins. Numerals follow the same blocky geometry, with uniform widths and rounded interior corners that keep the texture cohesive in text.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence and compact set-width are useful, such as posters, headlines, packaging fronts, labels, and bold informational signage. It can also work for short bursts of UI or editorial emphasis, though longer passages may feel visually dense due to the tight openings and heavy texture.
The tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a pragmatic, industrial character. Its compactness and squared curves read as functional and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, giving it an assertive, slightly retro utility-signage vibe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using squared-round geometry and blunt terminals to create a sturdy, utilitarian voice. The consistent stroke weight and simplified forms suggest a focus on clarity, repeatable shapes, and strong typographic color in display settings.
In the text sample, the tight apertures and dense spacing create a dark, poster-like color that holds together well at larger sizes. Rounded inner corners prevent the heaviness from feeling sharp, while the condensed proportions emphasize verticality in headings and short lines.
