A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners that give counters a superelliptical feel. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform with subtle optical modulation, producing dense silhouettes and tight internal spaces at display sizes. Curves on C/O/S and the bowls of B/P/R are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared-off, keeping a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a sturdy t; figures are similarly robust with wide, filled-in shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage where dense weight and compact width are advantages. It can also work for punchy subheads or labels, but extended body text may feel heavy due to tight counters and strong overall color.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a condensed, poster-ready punch. Its rounded geometry softens the mass just enough to feel approachable, but the overall impression remains bold, industrial, and slightly retro in a workwear/packing-label way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms friendly while retaining an industrial, high-visibility presence. It prioritizes bold legibility and a consistent, blocky rhythm for display-driven typography.
At large sizes the letterforms read as clean blocks with consistent texture, while in longer lines the tight counters and heavy weight create a dark, energetic color. The family’s rhythm relies on broad curves and blunt endings rather than sharp contrast or calligraphic cues, which helps maintain a cohesive, utilitarian voice across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
