A compact, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction that gives curves a squarish, superellipse feel. Forms are predominantly vertical and closed, with tight counters and restrained apertures; round letters like C, G, O, and Q read as sturdy blocks rather than circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are firm, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are steep and weighty, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals match the same chunky proportions and simplified geometry, maintaining a consistent, sign-like rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where dense shapes and strong presence help text hold its ground. It can also work for bold branding elements, labels, and UI callouts where a compact, sturdy voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, projecting confidence and immediacy. Its compact heft and squared curves suggest an industrial, no-nonsense voice that feels contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight footprint, using squared-off curves and uniform weight to create a robust, modern silhouette. The consistent, simplified geometry prioritizes clarity and strength over delicacy, supporting bold messaging and functional display typography.
Because the counters are small and the interior space is tight, the face reads strongest at display sizes where the blocky curvature and compact proportions become a feature rather than a constraint. The sample text shows a dark, even typographic color with minimal modulation, emphasizing solidity and punch.
