A compact, heavy sans with squarish counters and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with blunt terminals and small radiused corners that soften the blocky silhouette. Curves on letters like C, S, and O resolve into superellipse-like forms rather than true circles, and interior counters tend to be tight and rectangular. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short extenders, restrained apertures, and spacing that favors tight, stacked setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where high impact and condensed fit are priorities. It works well for packaging, signage, and editorial display lines that need strong presence in limited horizontal space. In long passages or small sizes, the tight counters and dense texture may benefit from generous tracking and leading.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, leaning toward an industrial, no-nonsense feel. Its compressed proportions and dark color create a sense of urgency and impact, making it read as sporty, urban, and poster-forward rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and readability in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to maintain a cohesive, modern system across letters and numerals. It prioritizes bold presence and straightforward forms over openness or finesse.
Distinctive features include the tall, slab-like numeral forms and the compact lowercase with minimal modulation, which keeps word shapes punchy at larger sizes. The squarish round letters and the strongly vertical stance give it a sign-painting/labeling energy, while the rounded corners prevent it from feeling harsh.
