A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical construction and rounded corners that softens otherwise blocky forms. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a dense texture and strong vertical rhythm, with counters that read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Curves are restrained and terminals feel blunt, giving letters a sturdy, engineered look; apertures are relatively tight and spacing is designed to hold bold color in headlines. Numerals follow the same compact, geometric logic, maintaining consistent weight and footprint.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short display lines where dense weight and compact proportions are an advantage. It can also work for signage-style titling, especially when you want a sturdy, condensed voice with softened corners.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial signage and bold editorial display. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly, contemporary edge while keeping an authoritative, no-nonsense presence.
Likely intended as a space-efficient display sans that maximizes visual punch while keeping forms consistent and highly geometric. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate balance between industrial sturdiness and approachable, modern smoothness.
The design emphasizes tall, compressed silhouettes and consistent dark mass, which helps create strong impact at larger sizes. The round-cornered shaping keeps the texture from feeling harsh, especially in mixed-case settings where the lowercase maintains the same solid, compact voice as the caps.
