A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and tightly contained counters. Strokes are uniform and firmly vertical, with squared terminals softened by rounded corners, producing a blocky silhouette and dense color on the page. Curves in letters like C, O, and S read as squarish bowls rather than true circles, and apertures tend to be fairly closed, reinforcing the font’s solid, compressed rhythm. Spacing and proportions prioritize maximum occupancy and consistent vertical emphasis, making words appear tall and tightly packed.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and signage where space is limited and strong vertical presence is desirable. It can also work for logo wordmarks and packaging systems that benefit from a compact, industrial voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with an industrial, signage-forward presence. Its condensed, blocky forms feel pragmatic and no-nonsense, leaning more toward functional display than friendly text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in tight horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive superellipse geometry. Its uniform strokes and squared-round construction suggest a goal of creating a sturdy, modern display sans for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters and numerals maintain a consistent squircle logic, which helps the typeface feel cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The heavy internal density makes small openings and joins visually merge sooner at reduced sizes, while larger sizes emphasize its distinctive squared-round personality.
