A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters a sculpted, superellipse feel rather than true geometric circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and tight internal spaces; punctuation and dots read as compact, round elements. Overall spacing and proportions create a tall, stacked rhythm that stays crisp at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding marks where its dense structure and rounded-rect geometry can read clearly. It also fits signage and bold UI headers, while longer text will benefit from generous size and spacing to maintain counter clarity.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, sign-like confidence. Its rounded corners soften the mass, adding a retro and slightly playful flavor without losing the sturdy, utilitarian impression. The dense verticality gives it a commanding, headline-forward voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, combining blunt, modern construction with rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive display texture. Its consistent stroke and simplified detailing suggest an emphasis on bold legibility and a strong graphic silhouette.
The design emphasizes vertical stems and narrow apertures, so counters can close up quickly as size drops. Rounded corners and squared curves keep forms consistent across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive, engineered look.
