A compact, heavy sans with tightly drawn proportions and a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a solid, monolithic color on the page. Curves are rounded but controlled, and many joins and terminals feel clipped or notched, creating a subtly engineered, ink-trap-like texture at interior corners and where strokes meet. Counters are relatively small and the spacing is economical, giving the type a dense rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and identity work where a dense, forceful voice is needed. It can also work on packaging and labels that benefit from a compact footprint and strong legibility at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, mixing an industrial straightforwardness with a slightly retro, headline-driven attitude. Its compact width and blunt geometry make it feel confident and emphatic, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry and deliberately tight counters to create a sturdy, space-efficient display sans. The subtle corner notches suggest an intent to add character and maintain clarity where strokes crowd together.
The numerals and caps read as especially robust and poster-oriented, with strong vertical emphasis and tight interior spaces. In text, the repeated notches and squared curves create a distinctive patterning that can become a defining texture in larger settings.
