A heavy, compact sans with squared proportions softened by generous rounded corners. Strokes stay even and solid, with wide, blocky curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrow, producing dense color and a strong vertical rhythm. Joins and terminals are clean and blunt, emphasizing a sturdy, engineered feel across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where dense weight and compact shapes help messages land quickly. It also fits packaging, logos, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact sans with softened corners. In text blocks it will read bold and attention-forward, working best with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and matter-of-fact, with an industrial, workwear sensibility. Its rounded-square construction adds a friendly, retro edge while still feeling efficient and no-nonsense. The texture is punchy and assertive, suited to statements that need to feel strong and dependable.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with simple geometry: a straightforward sans built from rounded-rectangle forms that stay consistent across the set. The intent appears to balance an industrial, functional backbone with approachable rounded edges for modern branding and display use.
The numerals and punctuation shown match the same rounded-rect geometry, keeping a consistent, modular look in mixed settings. In longer lines of text, the tight apertures and dense stroke color create a compact, impactful paragraph tone rather than an airy one.
