A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and softly rounded corners. Strokes stay largely even, producing a dense, poster-ready color, while counters are tight and often rectangular in feel. Capitals are tall and straightforward, with simple joins and minimal modulation; curves resolve into flattened, squared terminals rather than true circles. Lowercase follows the same geometry with sturdy stems, short apertures, and a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’; punctuation and numerals match the blunt, blocklike rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact letterforms are needed: headlines, posters, packaging, wayfinding, and punchy brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or labels where space is limited, though the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic—more workwear than elegant—suggesting signage, sports, and industrial labeling. Its condensed stance and heavy mass create urgency and impact, leaning toward a modern, no-nonsense voice rather than a friendly one.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in a narrow footprint, using squared curves and consistent stroke weight to create a sturdy, highly legible silhouette. It prioritizes strong shape recognition and dense texture for attention-grabbing typography in constrained widths.
Round letters like C, O, and Q read as rounded-rectangle forms, giving the face a distinctive square-curve tension. The narrow internal spaces and compact sidebearings make text appear tightly packed at display sizes, reinforcing a strong vertical cadence.
