A compact, heavy sans with squared-off proportions and generously rounded corners that push many forms toward a soft-rectangle (superellipse) feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong silhouettes. Curves tend to terminate in flat, straight cuts, while joins stay clean and mechanical, giving the design a tight, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and rectangular, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a prominent, rounded dot on i/j and simplified bowls.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where compact width and strong weight help create punchy, space-efficient titles. It also fits sports branding, labels, and signage-style graphics that benefit from sturdy geometry and rounded, approachable forms.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, mixing utilitarian sturdiness with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as modern-industrial with a retro advertising edge—confident, direct, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while keeping the texture smooth and contemporary through rounded-rectangle geometry. Its consistent weight and simplified shapes prioritize clarity and bold presence in display settings.
Because of the thick strokes and tight internal spaces, the face looks most comfortable at larger sizes where counters can open up visually. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like presence across letters and figures.
