A heavy, condensed sans with a squared, superellipse construction and noticeably rounded corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing a solid, poster-like color with minimal modulation. Counters are tight and rectangular-leaning, and the overall fit feels compact, with straight-sided verticals and pragmatic curves on rounds. Terminals are clean and blunt, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered silhouette and strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need a compact, high-impact voice. It also works well for signage or labels where bold, condensed forms help maximize content in limited horizontal space while maintaining a unified, industrial look.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a compact, forceful rhythm that reads as industrial and direct. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a modern, manufactured friendliness while still feeling tough and uncompromising. The overall impression is bold, confident, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms modern and cohesive. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent texture for display typography where strong shapes and compact proportions are advantageous.
Round letters such as O/C/G lean toward squared ovals, and the numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic for consistent texture. In running text the dense spacing and dark color create a strong headline voice, with punctuation and straight forms remaining crisp and straightforward.
