A heavy, condensed sans with squarish, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are broadly monoline with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are compact but kept open enough for clarity, and terminals tend to end in blunt, softened edges rather than sharp cuts. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, reinforcing the typeface’s tall, stacked rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short text where compact width and strong color are advantages—posters, packaging panels, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for labels and UI callouts where a dense, high-impact condensed style is needed, provided sizes are large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The font conveys a sturdy, workmanlike tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro. Its softened corners temper the weight, giving it a friendly edge while keeping an assertive, poster-ready presence.
The typeface appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle forms to maintain legibility and a controlled, uniform texture. The softened corners suggest an intention to balance industrial strength with approachability for display-driven applications.
The design’s geometry leans toward rounded-rectangle construction across curves (notably in O/C/e-like forms), which creates a cohesive, engineered feel. The numeral set matches the same compact, softened-block logic, supporting consistent texture in mixed text and data.
