A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with tight apertures and small counters that give the face a dense, weight-forward texture. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, while joins and terminals feel clipped and squared rather than tapered, producing a strong, poster-like rhythm. The overall fit is economical, with short extenders and a consistent, upright stance that reads cleanly at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks that need maximum impact in minimal horizontal space. It also fits packaging and apparel graphics where bold, compact letterforms hold up under strong contrast and at distance.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, projecting strength and efficiency more than elegance. Its rounded block forms add approachability to an otherwise industrial voice, making it feel energetic and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact messaging with a streamlined, geometric voice. By combining dense proportions with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims for a modern, tough look that remains friendly and highly legible in display contexts.
Uppercase forms are built for solidity—wide verticals and compact interiors—while the lowercase retains the same blunt, squared logic for a cohesive system. Numerals follow the same dense, rounded-block construction, supporting bold, attention-grabbing settings where space is limited.
