A compact, heavy sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a boxy, superelliptical feel. The proportions are tight and vertically efficient, with short apertures and broad terminals; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are simplified and sturdy rather than delicate. Numerals and uppercase forms read especially solid, with consistent, dense color and minimal internal detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage where strong silhouettes matter. It can work for brief subheads or labels, but the tight apertures and dense texture make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a rugged, industrial confidence. Its condensed, blocky rhythm suggests signage and equipment labeling, while the rounded-square geometry adds a slightly retro, engineered character rather than a friendly softness.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create a consistent, engineered look. The emphasis appears to be on sturdy presence and easy recognition at a distance, prioritizing strong shapes and uniform weight over fine typographic detail.
Lowercase forms appear intentionally simplified for impact, with compact bowls and reduced openings that favor silhouette over nuance. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text match the same squared, heavy logic, helping long lines maintain a uniform, bold texture.
