A compact, heavy sans with squared-off proportions softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes stay largely monoline, creating an even, solid texture, while counters are relatively tight and vertical stems dominate the silhouette. Curves (C, G, O, S) feel like rounded rectangles rather than true circles, and joins are firm and simplified. The overall rhythm is dense and space-efficient, with short ascenders/descenders and sturdy, straight-sided forms that keep lines of text visually dark and cohesive.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where high impact and compact set width are useful—posters, branding lockups, labels, and wayfinding. It can work in brief UI or caption contexts when strong emphasis is needed, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, signage-oriented flavor. Rounded corners keep it friendly enough to avoid harshness, but the dense weight and compressed shapes make it feel direct, pragmatic, and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay contemporary and approachable while remaining bold and functional. The consistent stroke weight and simplified forms prioritize clarity and a strong, uniform typographic color.
Numerals follow the same compact, rounded-rect geometry and read best at display sizes due to the tight internal space. The lowercase maintains a straightforward construction (single-storey shapes where shown) that reinforces the simplified, utilitarian voice.
