A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and stout, with tight interior counters that create dense, dark text color. Many joins and terminals feel slightly notched or ink-trap-like, helping keep small apertures from closing at bold sizes. The overall rhythm is highly regular and grid-friendly, with a vertical, condensed stance and sturdy, rectangular proportions across letters and numerals.
Works best for headlines, short slogans, labels, and attention-grabbing UI or editorial callouts where compact width and high weight are advantages. It suits branding and packaging that need a rugged, industrial tone, and it can hold up well in signage where sturdy, simplified forms are desirable.
The tone is blunt and workmanlike, projecting strength and clarity rather than delicacy. Its condensed, stamped-looking presence suggests a practical, industrial voice with a mild retro sign-painting or label-printing flavor. The density and repetition of forms give it a disciplined, no-nonsense character.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while maintaining a consistent, modular texture. The rounded-rectangle construction and slight ink-trap-like notches suggest an intention to stay legible and recognizable under heavy weight and tight spacing, especially in bold display applications.
The shapes favor straight-sided geometry with softened corners, making rounded letters (like O and C) read as squarish ovals. Counters and apertures are intentionally tight, which boosts impact at display sizes but can make long passages feel heavy. Numerals share the same compact, blocky construction for a consistent set.
