A compact, heavy sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and broad, blunt terminals. Curves are tightened into superellipse-like bowls, giving letters a sturdy, almost modular feel, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Stroke behavior is largely even and vertical, with minimal modulation and a strong emphasis on straight sides; joints read crisp rather than calligraphic. Overall width is restrained, creating a dense rhythm and high ink coverage, especially in all-caps settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements where compact width and strong silhouette help fit more characters per line without losing presence. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from bold, geometric clarity at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a condensed mass that reads confident and attention-grabbing. Its squared-round geometry feels contemporary and utilitarian, suggesting a pragmatic, engineered character rather than friendly or decorative warmth.
The design appears intended to combine the efficiency of a condensed grotesque with a distinctive squared-round geometry, producing a bold, space-saving display face with a strong, modern identity.
The alphabet and numerals show consistent rounded-corner squareness across bowls and shoulders, which helps maintain a uniform texture at display sizes. The density and tight internal shapes can make long passages feel heavy, but it delivers strong impact in short bursts and big sizes.
