A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, even color. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while corners are softened into broad curves, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel. The overall rhythm is tight with short apertures and dense internal spaces, and the lowercase shows a single-story “a” and “g” alongside sturdy, simplified forms and numerals with similarly rounded-square geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, and bold brand marks. The dense, compact shapes also work well for packaging and wayfinding-style signage where strong presence and quick recognition matter more than delicate detail.
The tone is bold and energetic, combining a tough, utilitarian backbone with approachable rounded corners. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro, poster-like flavor that feels at home in bold headlines and signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-square forms to stay friendly while maintaining a tough, industrial solidity. Consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes suggest a focus on bold display typography that remains cohesive across letters and numerals.
Capitals are tall and uniform, and many letters emphasize verticality with compact widths and strong stems. The “Q” has a short, assertive tail, and the numerals echo the same rounded-square silhouette, keeping a cohesive, logo-friendly texture across mixed-case settings.
