A compact, heavy sans with a distinctly rectilinear construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes are broadly uniform with tight apertures and small interior counters, producing dense, ink-trap-free silhouettes that hold together as solid blocks. Terminals are clean and squared-off, the joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is vertical and space-efficient. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, sign-ready proportioning, while the lowercase keeps similarly compact forms with minimal flourish.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging callouts, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for brief blocks of text where density and presence are desired, but its tight counters and condensed rhythm favor display typography over long reading.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and workmanlike rather than friendly. Its compact width and dense shapes project authority and urgency, giving it a poster-and-signage energy that feels practical and direct.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility within limited horizontal space, using sturdy strokes and rounded-rectangular geometry to create a cohesive, industrial voice that reproduces well at larger sizes.
The superelliptical rounding is especially evident in bowls and shoulders, creating a consistent “softened rectangle” motif across rounds (like O/C/G and the lowercase counterparts). Spacing appears tight but controlled, emphasizing a strong dark mass in text while retaining clear letter differentiation at display sizes.
