A heavy, block-oriented sans with broadly rounded rectangle curves and flat terminals. Forms are built from simple vertical and horizontal strokes with compact counters, creating a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette that stays clean at large sizes. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q read as superelliptical shapes, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable with minimal nuance. Lowercase is tall and sturdy, with short extenders, single-storey a, and a straightforward, squared-shoulder n/m rhythm that emphasizes solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format display where its dense color and simplified shapes deliver immediate impact. It also fits branding and packaging that want a sturdy, modern-industrial voice, and short signage or labels where boldness and quick recognition matter more than airy readability.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike—more “equipment label” than “editorial refinement.” Its rounded corners soften the impact just enough to feel contemporary and approachable, while the mass and compact interiors keep it loud and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a strong display sans that translates rounded-rectangle geometry into an efficient, high-impact text image. It prioritizes solidity, consistency, and contemporary bluntness, aiming for dependable legibility in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The numerals are similarly compact and weighty, with clear, simplified construction that matches the uppercase. Spacing in the sample text reads fairly tight and the dark color builds quickly, reinforcing a poster-like, headline-forward personality.
