A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and digits a superelliptical, squared-off feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with small notches and cut-ins at joins and corners that read like ink-trap details, adding texture to the otherwise solid silhouettes. Spacing is economical and the rhythm is dense, producing strong vertical emphasis and high impact in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for subheads and callouts where dense, space-efficient text needs to remain punchy, though it may feel heavy for extended body copy.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a rugged, workmanlike flavor. Its blocky shapes and subtle notched detailing evoke industrial labeling and headline typography, projecting confidence and toughness rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch and space efficiency while keeping counters open enough for quick recognition. The squared-round construction and small cut-ins suggest a focus on robust reproduction at large sizes and in demanding print contexts.
Uppercase forms appear especially compact and monolithic, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional construction. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with a sturdy “0” and tightly drawn bowls that stay legible under heavy weight.
