A compact, heavyweight sans with tightly set proportions and squared, rounded-corner geometry. Curves resolve into superelliptical forms, giving bowls and counters a rectangular softness rather than circularity. Strokes are uniform and dense, terminals are blunt, and joins stay crisp, producing a consistent, poster-ready texture. Uppercase letters are tall and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian construction with simple, compact counters and sturdy stems.
Best suited for large-scale display typography where density and impact are desired: headlines, posters, storefront/signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where compact width is helpful, but it is most effective when given room to breathe and set above small body-text sizes.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, balancing a retro sign-painting feel with modern, geometric cleanliness. Its condensed heft reads as confident and attention-seeking, making it feel direct, no-nonsense, and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms consistent and contemporary while retaining a utilitarian, display-forward character.
Spacing and internal counters are relatively tight, so the font’s strength comes from its solid silhouette and rhythmic vertical emphasis. Rounded corners soften the impact just enough to keep large text friendly while still feeling muscular.
