A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and squarish curves that create superellipse-like bowls in letters such as O, C, and D. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, emphatic texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and verticals dominate the rhythm, while curves stay controlled and slightly squared rather than fully circular.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and bold signage where density and presence are desired. It can work for brief callouts or display copy, but the tight counters and heavy color are more effective at larger sizes than in extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sturdy, no-nonsense feel that still reads friendly due to the rounded corners. Its compactness and dense color lend it a confident, poster-like voice with a subtle retro and industrial edge.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to stay approachable while maintaining a strong, industrial display character.
The figures match the same condensed, rounded-rect geometry as the letters, keeping a consistent, blocky silhouette. In longer text the strong weight creates a pronounced dark rhythm, making spacing and counters feel intentionally tight for impact.
