A heavy, compact sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with rounded corners and broad, uniform strokes. Curves resolve into soft rectangles rather than perfect circles, giving counters a squarish, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, joins are clean, and spacing is fairly tight, producing dense word shapes with strong vertical rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact heft and squarish rounds can carry impact—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short labels and signage where quick recognition and strong presence matter more than airy readability.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike character. Its chunky geometry reads as practical and confident, leaning more toward functional signage than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength through simplified, rounded-rectangle geometry and consistent stroke weight. It prioritizes clarity and punch, creating a recognizable, contemporary voice that feels engineered rather than calligraphic.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R retain a noticeably squared interior, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g that reinforce the simplified, constructed style. Numerals are similarly block-forward, with a sturdy, uniform presence that stays consistent with the letterforms.
