A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay monoline and dense, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, producing a dark, even typographic color. Curves are squarish rather than circular, and counters tend to be tight, especially in letters like B, e, and a. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals and a sturdy lowercase; the overall rhythm is steady and impact-oriented, with open, straightforward shapes and little ornamentation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from sturdy, simplified forms. For text-heavy settings, it performs most effectively in larger sizes or with generous spacing to keep the dense color from feeling crowded.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial feel reminiscent of labeling, packaging, and headline typography. Its rounded block forms read as friendly enough to avoid harshness, while still projecting strength and urgency. The compact width and heavy mass give it a no-nonsense, poster-ready personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, modernized rounded-block aesthetic. Its simplified geometry and blunt finishing prioritize clarity and presence over refinement, making it a strong choice for display-driven typography that needs to feel solid and direct.
Distinctive superellipse-like rounds appear in C, O, and Q, while diagonals (V, W, X) remain crisp and tightly set. Numerals are bold and simplified for quick recognition, with wide, stable bases on figures like 4 and 5. In longer lines, the dense weight and narrow set can create a strong texture, favoring short-to-medium statements over delicate reading.
