A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes stay consistently thick with softened terminals and corners, producing a sturdy, almost stamped silhouette rather than crisp geometric sharpness. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with simple, direct letterforms that read clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, vertical emphasis, reinforcing a uniform, poster-ready texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and signage where space is limited but impact is needed. It also works well for bold wordmarks and short UI labels that benefit from a compact, uniform presence.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a slightly vintage, sign-paint and industrial-label feel. Its rounded edges keep the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly toughness that suits bold, no-nonsense messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a tight width while maintaining a smooth, approachable finish through rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round shapes (like O, C, G) are squarer than purely circular, and junctions tend to resolve into broad curves instead of sharp joins. The condensed proportions and narrow apertures create strong color on the page, especially in all-caps settings.
