A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear, with compact counters and a tall, vertical stance; curves read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles. Many joins and terminals show angular notch-like cut-ins (ink-trap-like detailing) that create a crisp, mechanical rhythm and prevent dark spots in tight corners. The overall texture is dense and uniform, with simplified forms and tight apertures that hold together strongly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and branding where impact and a strong silhouette matter. It can also work for signage and short bursts of text that benefit from compact width and dense color. For long-form reading, its tight counters and condensed build suggest using larger sizes and generous spacing.
The font projects an industrial, poster-forward attitude with a slightly retro flavor. Its chunky geometry and corner notches add a confident, engineered feel, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result is bold and attention-grabbing, with a hint of playful quirk in the shapes.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact display sans that combines rounded-rect geometry with deliberate corner cut-ins to maintain clarity and add character. It prioritizes a strong, uniform typographic color and a distinctive, engineered texture for attention-driven applications.
Distinctive corner notches appear repeatedly across curves and diagonals, giving the design a recognizable signature and adding sparkle to large settings. The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces make the type feel compact and forceful, especially in all-caps lines.
