A heavy, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with minimal modulation and a compact rhythm that packs tightly in lines. Counters are relatively small and often squarish, giving the face a sturdy, poster-like color, while the curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and shoulders rather than perfect circles. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a tall, plain i/j with round dots, and generally simplified forms; numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where compact width and strong presence are valuable. It can also work for wayfinding or UI labels when set with generous spacing, but it is visually most effective in display sizes and short, high-impact copy.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, designed to read as direct and assertive while staying approachable due to the rounded corners. It feels modern and practical, with a slightly playful warmth that keeps the weight from becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the heavy weight readable and visually friendly. Its simplified, consistent forms prioritize clarity, uniform texture, and contemporary solidity.
The condensed proportions and tight apertures create strong texture at larger sizes, and the chunky shapes hold up well in short bursts of text. Round joins and squared-off curves produce a consistent, engineered feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
