A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and a largely uniform stroke weight. The drawing relies on rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, bowls feel squared-off, and terminals tend to finish flat. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangular, giving letters a dense, high-impact color on the page. The overall rhythm is condensed with crisp verticals and simplified joins, producing a strong, structured texture in both caps and lowercase.
Works best in large sizes where its compact proportions and squared-rounded forms can project impact—headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, and bold branding systems. It can also serve short UI labels or signage-style callouts when a strong, condensed voice is needed, but the tight counters favor display use over extended reading.
The tone is assertive and engineered, with a slightly retro-futurist, industrial flavor. Its blocky curvature and tight apertures suggest speed, strength, and utilitarian clarity—more display-driven than conversational. The style reads as confident and bold, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent rounded-rect geometry to create a distinctive, modern-industrial silhouette. It prioritizes punchy legibility and a cohesive, system-like feel across letters and numerals for branding and titling.
Capitals are especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same squared-rounded logic for consistency. Numerals match the heavy, compact build and maintain the same flat-terminal, rounded-corner motif, supporting a cohesive signage-like system.
