A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled spacing. Strokes are consistently thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and corners that soften the overall blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and the joins are clean and mechanical, producing crisp interior shapes and strong word color. Uppercase forms read especially sturdy and architectural, while lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction with short extenders and a notably compact overall texture.
Best suited for large sizes where its dense weight and compact width can maximize impact—headlines, posters, packaging panels, and bold brand marks. It also works well for signage and short UI labels where a strong silhouette is helpful, though the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense voice with a slightly retro-industrial flavor. Its rounded squareness keeps the tone friendly enough for consumer-facing work, while the dense rhythm and tight apertures maintain a strong, assertive presence. Overall it feels energetic and functional—more headline and label than quiet editorial text.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, combining sturdy industrial geometry with softened superelliptical curves for a contemporary, approachable finish. The consistent stroke weight and compact proportions emphasize clarity and impact over nuance.
Round letters tend toward vertically oriented, pill-like forms, and diagonals are cut with firm, geometric angles that reinforce a engineered look. Numerals follow the same compact, heavy construction, staying legible through strong silhouettes rather than open counters.
