A heavy, square-rounded sans with superelliptical bowls and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softly radiused outer corners and occasional tighter inner joints that read as pragmatic cut-ins. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend toward closed or narrowly opened, giving the face a dense, sturdy texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and squared, and proportions feel slightly condensed, with tall ascenders and tight interior spacing in letters like a, e, and s.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact sans is needed. It can also work for branding systems that want an industrial or retro-utilitarian voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, mixing a retro sign-paint/print-shop sturdiness with a modern, engineered neatness. Its compact shapes and strong silhouette convey authority and functionality rather than delicacy or warmth.
Likely intended as a robust display sans built around rounded-rectangular geometry to deliver strong presence and consistent texture. The tightened apertures and squared terminals suggest an emphasis on durability and punch on printed and digital materials rather than airy, text-first readability.
The design relies on consistent rounded-rectangle geometry across curves, producing very stable, blocky forms. Numerals share the same dense construction and squared rounding, reading clearly at display sizes and maintaining a unified color with the letters.
