A compact, heavy sans with blocky construction and softened corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and counters are small and tightly controlled, often appearing as narrow vertical slots. Many terminals are flat and squared, while curves are built from rounded rectangles, giving letters like O, C, G, and S a squarish, engineered feel. Proportions lean condensed overall, with tall lowercase and short ascenders/descenders, producing a dense texture in text. The digit set follows the same robust, squared-round logic, emphasizing punchy silhouettes and high ink coverage.
Best suited to display work where impact and strong silhouette matter: posters, bold headlines, logos, packaging, and short-form signage. It holds up well when set large, where the squared curves and tight counters become a defining stylistic feature.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial sign-painting or stamped-lettering attitude. Its chunky forms and compressed rhythm also add a slightly playful, retro-display flavor, reading as energetic and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width, pairing engineered, rounded-rectangle geometry with strong internal cutouts for a distinctive, stamp-like presence. The goal seems to be a high-impact display sans that feels both utilitarian and characterful.
The design relies on distinctive internal cutouts and narrow apertures, which create a strong graphic identity at large sizes but can make similar shapes (especially in tight settings) feel closely related. The uppercase and lowercase are clearly differentiated, but both share the same squared, heavy geometry that keeps the voice consistent across headlines.
