A compact, vertically oriented sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently blunt terminals. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls, giving letters like C, O, and S a superelliptical feel, while straight strokes stay rigid and evenly weighted. Counters are relatively small and apertures are controlled, producing dense color and strong columnar rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals read especially structural, with a squared-off, utilitarian geometry that holds up well at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where dense impact is desirable—such as posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, sports or workwear branding, and bold packaging systems. It can also serve UI labels or navigational elements when a compact, high-impact voice is needed.
The overall tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-ready presence. Its compressed proportions and sturdy shapes suggest signage and headlines that need to feel direct, efficient, and slightly gritty rather than delicate or lyrical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with softened-rectangular geometry for a modern, utilitarian look. The consistent stroke behavior and tight counters emphasize clarity and impact over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Round forms consistently resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, creating a distinctive "squared round" personality across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional feel, while the tight spacing and strong verticals give lines of text a punchy, packed texture.
