A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, dark word shapes and a tight rhythm. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, with arched, slot-like openings in letters such as A, D, O, and P, and a generally squared-off geometry that still reads friendly due to the rounding. Curves in C, G, S, and 2 feel controlled and superelliptical rather than fully circular, reinforcing the engineered, modular look.
Best suited to display settings where strong, compact letterforms are an advantage: headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. The dense weight and tight counters favor larger sizes and short-to-medium strings where impact and rhythm matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking industrial signage and mid-century display typography. Its rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, adding a slightly playful, retro softness while maintaining a strong, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms and uniform stroke weight to create a consistent, modular system. It aims for legible, high-impact display text with an industrial/retro flavor that stays approachable through softened geometry.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and compressed, giving headlines a stacked, poster-ready impact. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic and sit firmly in the same visual system, creating cohesive alphanumeric blocks at display sizes.
