A tightly condensed, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared, softened corners, producing superelliptic bowls and counters (notably in O, C, D, e, and o). Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is compact with minimal interior space, yielding strong vertical emphasis and dense word shapes. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round logic, keeping a consistent, engineered geometry across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a dense, high-impact wordmark is desired. It can work well for signage, packaging, sports or event branding, and short emphatic UI labels, especially when space is limited horizontally.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a compact, poster-like punch. Its rounded-rectilinear forms feel industrial and slightly retro, evoking stamped lettering, packaging labels, and utilitarian signage while staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a strict, monoline skeleton with rounded-rectangle geometry for a cohesive, industrial display voice. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent constructed shapes over delicate detail.
Because counters are relatively tight at this weight and width, the face reads strongest at larger sizes where the squared-round details and compact spacing can breathe. The punctuation and basic shapes shown maintain the same blunt, geometric personality as the letters.
