A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with a compact internal counter structure and a strong vertical rhythm. Corners are consistently eased rather than sharp, giving the forms a superelliptical feel in bowls and terminals. The lowercase is tall and narrow with short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall height, and punctuation and numerals match the same dense, monoline, rounded-shoulder logic.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and punch are desirable, such as posters, packaging panels, signage, and bold branding. It can also work for subheads or labels when space is limited and a compact, high-contrast-in-mass look is needed.
The font projects a forceful, utilitarian tone with a slightly retro, poster-era presence. Its compressed width and hefty color feel industrial and urban, conveying urgency and impact without becoming jagged or aggressive thanks to the rounded corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to keep the letterforms consistent and friendly while maintaining a strong, authoritative weight.
The narrow proportions and tight apertures create a dark, continuous texture in text, while the consistent rounding keeps shapes cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. It reads as designed for strong silhouette recognition rather than airy openness.
