A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton. Strokes are thick and even, with squared terminals eased by generous corner radii, creating a compact, chunky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and rounded, and curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, giving letters a boxy rhythm. The numerals and uppercase show a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains the same blunt, dense texture with minimal stroke modulation and clear, upright construction.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters—headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short blocks of copy at larger sizes when a dense, attention-grabbing texture is desirable, such as signage, packaging, and social graphics.
The overall tone is bold and grounded, pairing industrial solidity with approachable roundedness. It reads as confident and emphatic rather than delicate, with a subtly retro, workwear flavor that feels familiar and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded-rect geometry—combining clarity and sturdiness for assertive display typography that remains approachable.
Spacing and forms favor mass and stability: wide shoulders, short joins, and tightened apertures produce a dark, uniform text color. The squared-off geometry keeps lines looking organized and engineered, while the softened corners prevent it from feeling harsh.
