A compact, heavy sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with softened corners and largely monoline strokes. Curves tend toward squarish bowls (notably in C, O, and G), while straight stems stay vertical and tightly proportioned, creating a dense, economical texture. Counters are relatively small and apertures are somewhat closed, emphasizing solidity. Terminals are blunt and consistently rounded, giving the design a cohesive, engineered feel across letters and numerals.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, posters, and branding where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. The sturdy, rounded construction also works well for wayfinding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a confident, industrial-sporty tone.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, athletic edge. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, producing a friendly-but-firm voice that reads as modern signage with a subtle vintage-industrial flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow space while maintaining a consistent, rounded-rectangle construction. It aims for clear, forceful display typography with an engineered, contemporary look softened by rounded terminals.
At large sizes the superelliptical geometry becomes a defining feature, especially in rounded letters and the squared-off curves of S and G. In text settings the tight proportions and dark color create strong impact, while the compact counters suggest it will prefer generous tracking and line spacing when used in longer passages.
