A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broad, flat terminals. Curves are squarish and controlled (notably in O, C, G, and 0), with tight apertures and compact counters that stay consistent across the set. Stems are thick and even, joins are clean, and the overall silhouette favors verticality and tall lowercase with short extenders. Spacing reads sturdy and compact, producing a dark, poster-like color in text.
Best suited to display settings where strong impact and compact word shapes are desirable—posters, large headlines, bold branding, packaging callouts, and straightforward signage. It can work for short subheads or labels, but the dense counters and tight apertures may become harder to parse at small sizes or in long passages.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor and a slightly athletic, headline-driven presence. Its rounded corners soften the mass, but the overall impression remains bold, blunt, and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a softened, superelliptical geometry—combining blunt, industrial solidity with rounded corners for friendlier, contemporary usability in display typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially squared and condensed in their interior shaping, while lowercase maintains the same chunky geometry with minimal modulation. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, giving data and scores a solid, uniform look.
