A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, producing dense counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase round letters), while terminals are mostly blunt and flat, reinforcing a poster-like solidity. The set reads tightly fit and tall, with sturdy, simplified joins and clear, straightforward proportions in both letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from condensed width and strong silhouette definition; for longer text, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly retro, display-driven character. Its compressed massing and squared-round geometry feel engineered and bold, projecting confidence and impact more than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using squared-round geometry and heavy strokes to create a durable, contemporary-industrial display voice with a hint of vintage signage influence.
Round letters keep relatively small internal spaces, so texture becomes quite dark in paragraphs, while remaining highly legible at headline sizes. The numerals share the same blocky, squared-round logic, giving sequences a consistent, sign-like presence.
