A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-based outlines and softly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and consistent, with tight apertures and short joins that produce dense counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Round letters (O, C, G) read as rounded-rectangular forms, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sturdy and economical, keeping a uniform texture. The lowercase is similarly weighty and straightforward, with simple terminals and sturdy bowls; numerals match the same blunt, solid construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and high-impact branding where a compact, high-density word shape is useful. It can work well on packaging and labels, sports or event graphics, and bold interface moments where short bursts of text need strong emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its condensed massing and squared-round geometry suggest a utilitarian, slightly retro display character that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangular forms to keep the texture uniform and contemporary while retaining a sturdy, industrial flavor.
Because of the dense counters and compact proportions, the typeface maintains a strong “ink block” silhouette in headlines, while fine interior details (like small openings and bowls) can feel tight at smaller sizes. The design’s consistent rounding keeps it friendly enough to avoid a purely mechanical feel, despite its heavy, compressed voice.
