A compact, heavy sans with a superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, and terminals finish bluntly with softened corners for a slightly cushioned feel. Proportions are tall and space-efficient, with tight interior counters and a strong vertical rhythm that keeps word shapes dense and even. The lowercase maintains straightforward, single-storey forms where applicable, and the numerals follow the same squared-off rounding and sturdy spacing.
Well-suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and labeling where a compact footprint and strong presence are helpful. It can also work for UI titles or navigation elements when you want a dense, sturdy look, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The tone is pragmatic and assertive, combining an industrial straightforwardness with a subtle retro flavor from its rounded-rectangle geometry. It feels direct and functional rather than elegant, projecting clarity, toughness, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle forms to soften the edges while keeping an industrial, workmanlike voice. It prioritizes bold shape recognition and consistent rhythm for display and branding use.
The rounded-square logic is consistent across curves, giving the face a distinctive, coherent texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings. In longer lines, the dense spacing and small counters create a solid typographic “block,” which can read powerful at display sizes.
