A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and strongly filled counters. Curves are smoothed and squared-off at the same time, producing blocky rounds in letters like C, G, O, and S. Strokes maintain a steady thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt. Proportions run condensed overall, with tall ascenders/uppercase and tight internal spacing; apertures are relatively small, giving the face a dense, poster-like color. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a compact t, while numerals are similarly robust and tightly fit.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as headlines, posters, bold brand marks, packaging panels, and short signage text where its compact width and dense weight can maximize impact. It can also work for subheads and labels when spaced a bit more openly, but extended body copy will benefit from careful sizing and increased letterspacing.
The font reads as forceful and no-nonsense, with a functional, engineered tone. Its rounded-block geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise assertive, compressed voice, evoking sporty, editorial, and retro-industrial signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, combining compressed proportions with rounded-rectilinear forms for a modern, industrial display sans that stays approachable.
The condensed rhythm and tight counters make it visually striking at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes the dense shapes may require generous tracking and leading to preserve clarity. The squarish rounding is consistent across curves and corners, helping the design feel cohesive in both uppercase headlines and mixed-case settings.
