A compact, heavy sans with squarish, superellipse-based curves and softened corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, dark texture. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangular-oval in feel, while joins and terminals tend to be blunt and straight, emphasizing a boxy rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and condensed, and the lowercase follows the same sturdy geometry with simple, sturdy bowls and short, thick apertures; numerals match the same compact, rectangular construction for a consistent set.
It performs best in headlines, posters, packaging, and short emphatic statements where a compact, high-impact look is needed. The sturdy, squared construction also suits signage and branding applications that benefit from a strong, utilitarian presence.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like solidity. Its condensed massing and squared softness suggest modern utility rather than elegance, leaning toward a bold, direct voice that reads as confident and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using squared, rounded-rectangle forms to keep the shapes modern and highly legible at display sizes. The consistent stroke weight and blunt terminals prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy.
The font’s squared rounds and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes at larger sizes, while the dense color can feel packed in longer passages. The heavy vertical emphasis and blunt detailing make it especially suited to strong, graphic typographic blocks.
