A condensed, heavy sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: rounded-rectangle bowls and corners paired with flat, blunt terminals. Strokes stay broadly consistent, with minimal modulation and compact counters that keep the texture dense. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with simplified joins and pragmatic shapes that read as sturdy rather than delicate; numerals and capitals follow the same blocky, softened geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and bold brand marks where compact width is helpful. It also works well for signage and display typography that benefits from a sturdy, space-efficient letterform.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a slightly vintage sign-painting and stamp-like feel. Its softened corners keep the voice approachable, but the dense weight and narrow proportions push it toward assertive, attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using softened rectangular geometry to keep the forms friendly while maintaining a strong, industrial density.
In text, the condensed width creates a strong columnar color and helps long lines stay compact, while the heavy massing can cause counters to close up at smaller sizes. The rounded-rectangle logic is especially evident in bowls (like O, Q, e) and in straight-sided forms, giving the font a consistent, engineered presence.
