A compact, heavy sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical. Proportions are tight with a restrained width and dense rhythm, giving words a stacked, economical look. Terminals are mostly blunt, joins are firm, and counters stay relatively open for the weight, producing sturdy silhouettes and consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence and space efficiency are advantages—headlines, poster typography, wayfinding and signage, packaging callouts, and compact brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or sports/editorial titling where a dense, high-impact line is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, leaning industrial and no-nonsense rather than friendly or decorative. Its condensed massing and squared curves convey authority and urgency, making it feel suited to environments where clarity and impact matter more than softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and blunt finishing suggest a deliberate, engineered aesthetic geared toward bold messaging and clear reproduction.
Round letters show a superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles, and many forms read as engineered: flat-sided bowls, compact apertures, and minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals share the same rigid, built-up stance, helping mixed settings keep a uniform, poster-like color.
