A compact, heavy sans with tight proportions and a squared-off, superellipse construction that reads as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the interior counters are small, producing dense word shapes. Terminals are largely blunt and flat, with gentle corner rounding that keeps the texture smooth while maintaining a blocky silhouette. The uppercase is tall and commanding, and the lowercase follows a similarly compact rhythm with sturdy bowls and short extenders, resulting in an overall compressed, billboard-like presence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where compact, high-impact letterforms are needed. It can work well in short subheads and signage at moderate-to-large sizes, but the small counters and tight construction may feel heavy in long passages or at very small sizes.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing statements. Its dense forms and condensed stance suggest strength, urgency, and a modern, industrial sensibility rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton to keep the texture uniform and contemporary. Its emphasis on dense counters and blunt endings suggests a display-first purpose focused on clarity and forceful presence.
Round letters like C/O/S and numerals show noticeably squarish curves, and many shapes feature relatively closed apertures, which increases visual weight and helps create a cohesive, dark typographic color. The numerals match the uppercase’s solidity and feel built for impact over delicacy.
