A condensed, heavy display face built from squared-rounded, superelliptic forms. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast and occasional wedge-like terminals, creating a carved, chiseled rhythm rather than a purely geometric feel. Counters tend to be narrow and vertical, with rounded-rectangle bowls and tight apertures that keep the texture dense. Several joins show small ink-trap-like notches and pinched corners, and curves often resolve into flattened, squared shoulders, reinforcing the compact, stamped silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage where its condensed width and chunky forms maximize impact. It can also work for wordmarks and short brand phrases that benefit from a compact footprint and a vintage-industrial edge, while extended small text is likely to feel dense due to the tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a retro utilitarian character that nods to posters, packaging, and sign-painting traditions. Its tall, compressed proportions and squared softness give it a confident, slightly quirky personality—serious enough for headlines, but with enough eccentricity to feel distinctive and handcrafted.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact display sans that blends geometric superellipse construction with subtly sculpted terminals and corner detailing. Its proportions and dense texture prioritize presence and memorability in titles and branding over neutral body-text readability.
Figures and capitals share the same tall, condensed stance, helping numerals and text lock into a consistent vertical rhythm. The lowercase feels relatively small against the capitals, and the tight internal spaces suggest better performance at larger sizes where the distinctive corners and notches can be appreciated.
