This typeface is a compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptic construction and softly rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing an even color and strong vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and mostly rectangular-oval, while curves resolve into squarish rounds rather than true circles. The lowercase shows a sturdy, utilitarian build with simple terminals and a clear two-storey “a”; figures are robust and legible with the same squared-round geometry.
It performs best where strong emphasis is needed—headlines, poster typography, bold branding lockups, and packaging panels. The compact width makes it useful for space-constrained applications like signage, labels, and UI headers where you want dense, punchy text.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, balancing a contemporary, engineered feel with approachable rounding. It reads as practical and direct rather than elegant, giving headlines a bold, grounded presence without feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using superelliptic rounding to soften an otherwise industrial, block-driven skeleton. It aims for a modern, functional look with consistent weight and a controlled, geometric rhythm.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spacing create high impact in short strings, while the rounded-rectangle forms keep the texture cohesive across letters and numerals. Straight-sided curves (notably in rounded glyphs) reinforce a geometric, systemized personality.
