A heavy, geometric sans with squared construction softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are thick and compact, with tight counters and a slightly condensed feel in many letters, creating a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Uppercase forms read tall and disciplined with flat terminals, while lowercase mixes simple single-storey shapes (notably a and g) with short, minimal joins and a mostly vertical, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with rounded-rectangle bowls and clear, blunt terminals for strong on/off contrast in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a bold, geometric voice is needed. It also works well for signage and short UI labels at larger sizes where its compact counters and blocky forms remain clear. For extended text, it will read most comfortably with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage, athletic branding, and mid-century-to-early-digital display typography. Its rounded-square geometry keeps it friendly enough for contemporary branding, but the dense weight and compact counters make it feel tough, mechanical, and confident.
The design appears intended as a strong display sans that merges squared, engineered silhouettes with softened corners for approachability. Its consistent massing and compact geometry suggest an emphasis on impact, uniformity, and easy reproduction across branding and signage contexts.
Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs rather than fully circular bowls, and many inner spaces are narrow, which increases visual punch but can reduce openness at small sizes. The lowercase has a straightforward, functional flavor, and the uppercase sets especially evenly thanks to consistent stroke mass and restrained shaping.
