A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing solid, closed counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes, and joins are blunt and stable rather than sharp. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, with sturdy proportions that keep forms legible at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging that benefit from sturdy, compact letterforms. At smaller sizes, the heavy strokes and tight counters suggest using it sparingly or with generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, balancing toughness with approachability thanks to the rounded geometry. It reads as industrial and practical, with a slightly retro, signage-like confidence. The dense weight and compact width give it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with simple, geometric forms and rounded corners that keep the weight from feeling harsh. The consistent stroke and compact proportions suggest an emphasis on clarity and durability in display-oriented settings.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey simplicity where applicable. Numerals are equally chunky and geometric, matching the letters’ rounded-rectilinear logic. The sample text shows consistent color and strong word-shape, favoring impact over delicacy.
