A compact, heavy sans built from squared, superelliptical shapes with consistently rounded corners and minimal stroke contrast. Counters are tight and often rectangular, giving letters a sturdy, stamped feel, while terminals are blunt and smooth rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is condensed and vertical, with short apertures and simplified joins that keep forms dense and highly uniform at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and short branding statements where its dense geometry reads as strong shapes. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from compact width and robust letterforms, especially in large sizes.
The tone is assertive and functional, with a sporty, industrial edge reminiscent of signage and equipment labeling. Its rounded-square geometry softens the weight just enough to feel friendly, but it remains emphatic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular construction. It emphasizes clarity as a set of consistent, sturdy silhouettes for display-driven typography.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals follow a rounded-rectangle skeleton, and diagonals (V/W/X) are broad and stable, avoiding delicate points. The lowercase is deliberately simplified, prioritizing mass and consistency over calligraphic detail.
