A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) construction and tight internal counters. Strokes are predominantly monoline in feel, with corners softened into broad curves and flats that read like machined slabs. The x-height is tall and the lowercase is compact, with short extenders and dense, low-contrast apertures (notably in e, a, s, and c) that create a strong, poster-like texture. Spacing appears snug, and many shapes favor squared bowls and terminals over open, airy forms, producing an even, chunky rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for display settings where weight and shape can carry the message—headlines, posters, cover art, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and merchandise graphics that benefit from a sturdy, compact word image and a strong, geometric presence.
The font projects a loud, confident tone with a slightly playful, retro-industrial edge. Its rounded-square geometry feels sturdy and engineered, while the compressed openings and heavy mass give it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rounded-block letterforms and a consistent superelliptical geometry. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and dense typographic color for attention-forward display use rather than open, text-optimized readability.
The numerals and capitals carry the same squared, softened geometry, maintaining a consistent silhouette that reads well at larger sizes. Because counters and apertures are relatively small, the style favors impact and texture over delicate detail, especially in dense paragraphs or at small sizes.
