A compact, heavy sans with forms built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with tight counters and short apertures that keep the silhouette dense and punchy. Curves (C, G, O, S) read as superelliptical and slightly squared rather than purely circular, while joins and terminals are blunt with subtly softened corners. The lowercase is straightforward and mechanical, with a single-story a and g, a compact e with a small eye, and a minimal, squared dot on i/j. Numerals are broad-shouldered and blocky, matching the same rounded-rectangle construction and maintaining strong visual consistency across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display copy, labels, and brand marks where a compact, sturdy word shape is an advantage. It can work well on signage or packaging that needs a strong, durable tone, and it pairs naturally with clean, neutral text faces for body copy.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning toward an industrial and athletic voice. Its compact rhythm and tightly packed shapes feel efficient and engineered, delivering a confident, high-impact presence without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay contemporary while remaining highly legible at display sizes. Its consistent, engineered shapes suggest an aim toward practical, modern branding and bold editorial or promotional typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight, and the dense interior counters can darken quickly in longer passages. The squared-round construction gives the type a distinctive, modernist “hardware” feel that stays consistent from capitals through figures.
