A compact, heavy sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are built from broad superelliptic bowls and softened corners, while straight strokes remain firm and vertical, producing a dense, poster-ready rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the apertures stay controlled, giving letters a solid, stamp-like presence. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel with sturdy stems and minimal modulation, and the numerals match the same chunky geometry for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Works best where you want strong, compact headlines and short bursts of text that need immediate impact—posters, branding, labels, and packaging. It can also serve for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a dense, rounded-rect silhouette and consistent, monoline weight.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward athletic and industrial messaging. Its rounded corners soften the aggression of the weight, adding a friendly retro flavor while still reading as emphatic and loud. Overall it feels suited to attention-grabbing, utilitarian design rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the weight approachable and cohesive. Its geometry prioritizes uniform color and strong silhouettes, suggesting a focus on display typography for branding and promotional applications.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show squarish bowls with pronounced corner radii, reinforcing the superelliptic theme. Diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are steep and sturdy, and punctuation and dots appear robust enough to hold up at display sizes.
