A heavy, compact sans with a strongly geometric build and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves in bowls and counters. Strokes stay uniform and solid, with squared terminals softened by subtle rounding, giving letters a dense, engineered silhouette. Proportions are tight with short extenders and compact spacing, and the glyphs show simplified, sturdy construction that favors bold mass over delicate detail. Numerals match the same robust, squared-curve language, reading as stable and highly graphic.
Best suited to headlines and display work where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also serve as a strong typographic accent in editorial layouts when used for short bursts of text rather than long reading.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, poster-driven energy. Its dense shapes and softened corners feel industrial and utilitarian while still friendly enough for bold branding. Overall it communicates impact, directness, and confidence.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using simplified geometric forms and rounded-rectangle curves to stay legible while feeling modern and industrial. The consistent weight and sturdy shapes prioritize clarity and presence at display sizes.
Round letters like C, O, and Q lean toward squarish curves with broad shoulders, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X are thick and emphatic. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, keeping a consistent rhythm with minimal flourish, which helps the face hold together in big, dark blocks of text.
