A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with squarish counters and apertures that stay open enough for display use despite the tight width. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the lowercase rounds), while terminals tend to be flat and horizontal, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase is simple and robust, with short ascenders/descenders and blunt joins; figures are equally chunky with clear, modular shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where a compact, high-impact wordmark is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a tough, rounded-industrial aesthetic, and for short UI or wayfinding labels when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a condensed, poster-like energy. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly edge to an otherwise industrial voice, suggesting sports graphics, packaging stamps, or mid-century/arcade-inspired display typography. The rhythm feels assertive and compact, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in narrow spaces while keeping a cohesive rounded-rect geometry. The consistent, blunt terminals and squarish counters suggest an intention toward sturdy, reproducible display typography that remains legible at medium-to-large sizes.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius and rectangular stress, producing strong texture in all-caps settings. In longer lines, the dense width and heavy weight create a solid typographic block, so generous tracking and line spacing can help preserve word shapes and readability.
