A compact, heavy sans with squared counters and rounded-rectangle curves that give letters a superelliptical, built-from-blocks feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Curves in C/G/O and bowls are tightened and slightly squarish, while joins and corners are softened rather than sharp. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with simple shapes and short, sturdy extenders, maintaining a uniform rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and consistent weight, particularly at display sizes where the rounded-square details read clearly.
The overall tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, with a no-nonsense, sign-paint and packaging energy. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, slightly playful edge to an otherwise tough, industrial presence.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the forms approachable while maintaining a strong, industrial solidity.
The numerals are equally compact and weighty, matching the letters’ squared curves and flat cuts for a cohesive set. In text, the tight proportions and dense strokes create strong word shapes and a bold, poster-like cadence, especially at larger sizes.
