A compact, tightly set display sans with squared-off, superellipse-style curves and broadly uniform stroke weight. Counters are small and vertical, with rounded-rectangle bowls in letters like O, D, and P, and crisp, straight-sided stems throughout. Terminals are blunt and clean, corners are subtly softened rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and minimal detail, while numerals follow the same condensed, block-like construction for consistent texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for bold branding elements and short calls-to-action, particularly when space is limited and strong vertical emphasis is desirable.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a no-nonsense, industrial character. Its compressed proportions and heavy presence read as urgent and attention-getting, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling overly harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using simplified, geometric letterforms with rounded-rectangle structure for a modern, workmanlike feel. Its consistent stroke and compact counters prioritize strong silhouette and immediate legibility at larger sizes.
The condensed fit and small apertures create a dense color on the page, especially in multi-line settings. The design’s geometry favors straight sides and rounded-rectangle curves, giving it a uniform, poster-like texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
