A heavy, compact sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read like rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than truly circular. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with broad terminals, tight apertures, and generous internal corners that keep shapes open at large sizes. Proportions are slightly condensed in feel, with large counters in letters like O/0 and a strong, vertical rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, Y) are thick and stable. Several glyphs show small notches or breaks at joins (notably in S, Q, and some numerals), giving a subtly engineered, cut-from-solid look.
Best suited to high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, brand marks, and wayfinding where bold shapes need to hold up at distance. It also fits athletic and industrial themes, UI title treatments, and short, emphatic copy where the dense color and geometric rounding reinforce a robust voice.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian—more equipment-label than editorial—projecting strength, efficiency, and a modern, technical attitude. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds friendliness to the mass, while the dense weight keeps it loud and unmistakable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a uniform, rounded-rectilinear skeleton, balancing hard-edged industrial cues with softened corners for approachability. The occasional cut-like notches suggest a deliberate, engineered detail to increase character and distinguish the silhouettes at display sizes.
The uppercase is especially dominant and poster-ready, and the numerals share the same squared, softened geometry for consistent signage-style cohesion. The texture in text blocks is dark and even, with minimal modulation, favoring impact over delicacy.
