A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing strong vertical emphasis and tight interior apertures. Terminals are flat and blunt, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is highly regular and geometric. Numerals follow the same compact, squared logic, staying bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, branding marks, labels, and wayfinding. It also works well for numbers in scoreboards, price callouts, and product titling where compact width and bold presence are priorities.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro industrial flavor that suggests signage and athletic graphics. Its compressed proportions and rounded-rectangle shapes feel modern-mechanical rather than friendly, projecting impact and efficiency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, rounded-rectangular geometry. It prioritizes bold clarity and a strong graphic silhouette for display and branding applications.
Tight counters and condensed widths make the face most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing, especially in mixed-case paragraphs. The superelliptical skeleton gives it a distinctive, cohesive texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
