A heavy, tightly constructed sans with a soft-rectilinear skeleton: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and superellipse-like bowls rather than true circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, uniform color and strong headline presence. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, counters are compact, and joins are simplified, giving the letterforms a blocky, engineered feel. The lowercase is built on a large x-height with short extenders, while uppercase forms remain broad and stable, contributing to an overall squat, forceful rhythm.
Best suited for display sizes where its dense weight and rounded-rect geometry can read clearly and deliver impact—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short labels or signage, especially where a strong, friendly-industrial voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and energetic, mixing utilitarian signage strength with a sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, retro-industrial flavor that reads as confident rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive rounded-rect shape language, balancing toughness and approachability. It emphasizes bold presence, compact counters, and simplified construction to stay legible and consistent in high-impact typographic settings.
Round forms such as O/Q/0 and b/p/d show rounded-rectangle counters and sturdy inner shapes, while diagonal letters (V/W/X/Y) keep wide, slab-like strokes that emphasize mass. The figures are equally stout and display-oriented, with simplified shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
