A compact, heavy sans with superellipse construction: rounds read as rounded-rectangle bowls with broad curves and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong, even color in text. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, while joins and curves maintain a controlled, engineered softness. Proportions are tight and economical, with condensed capitals and a similarly compact lowercase that keeps forms simple and vertical.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and bold callouts where a compact footprint and strong mass improve visibility. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from sturdy, simplified letterforms. For longer text, it works best in short bursts—subheads, captions, or interface emphasis—when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly industrial. The rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise tough, hard-working voice, giving it an athletic, signage-like presence that feels modern and direct.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a tough, blocky stance with softened superellipse curves for approachability. It prioritizes consistent weight, simple construction, and a strong silhouette for clear, immediate messaging.
Because counters are relatively small and spacing is tight, the face reads best when given room to breathe; increasing size and/or tracking helps preserve internal detail in dense combinations. Numerals and capitals feel especially suited to impactful, label-like settings where uniform stroke weight and compact width reinforce a strong silhouette.
