A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and superelliptical counters, giving the forms a boxy, engineered feel rather than purely geometric circles. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, terminals are mostly flat, and joins are blunt, producing dense color and strong silhouette clarity. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes with single-storey forms and wide, stable stems; figures are similarly blocky with rounded interior corners and consistent heft.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where strong presence and a clean, engineered rhythm are desired. It also fits branding and packaging that want a sturdy, modern-industrial impression, and works well for signage-style applications where bold shapes need to hold up from a distance.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor that reads like signage or equipment labeling. Its squarish roundness feels modern and manufactured, projecting confidence and directness more than warmth or delicacy.
The letterforms appear designed to combine maximum weight with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry, creating a high-impact sans that stays clean and contemporary while nodding to industrial and retro display typography. The consistent, softened corners and compact counters suggest an emphasis on durability, immediacy, and visual uniformity across the set.
The design’s tight apertures and compact internal spaces increase impact at large sizes but can make dense passages feel heavy. Distinctive rounded-rect geometry is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping it maintain a cohesive voice in headlines and short bursts of text.
