A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with flat terminals and minimal modulation, creating sturdy, poster-like letterforms. Bowls and counters skew tight and squared-off, and curves resolve into superelliptical shapes rather than true circles, giving the alphabet a controlled, engineered feel. Spacing appears tight and efficient, emphasizing a dense texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong presence and immediate legibility matter. It also works well for bold branding elements, labels, and wayfinding-style typography where a compact, sturdy texture is desirable.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting a confident, workmanlike voice. Its squared curves and dense weight read as practical and tough, with a sporty, industrial edge suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simplified, geometric construction: thick, uniform strokes; softened corners; and tight internal spaces that hold together in large, high-contrast applications. The consistent superelliptical shaping suggests an aim for a contemporary, engineered look rather than a purely humanist or calligraphic voice.
Uppercase forms feel especially compact and vertical, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing an unpretentious, signage-friendly rhythm. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying bold and highly legible at display sizes.
