A tightly packed, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms. Strokes are thick and consistent, with corners softened rather than sharp, giving counters and bowls a squared-off, tubular feel. Proportions are vertically emphatic and condensed, with compact sidebearings and minimal interior space in letters like B, P, R, and 8. Curves resolve into flat terminals and straight segments, and the overall rhythm favors solid, monoline blocks with crisp, engineered apertures and notches.
Best suited to short, prominent text where maximum impact is needed—posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, product packaging, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short blocks of text at large sizes, but its tight counters and dense color are most effective when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and retro poster lettering. Its compact, forceful silhouettes read as confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly mechanical, display-driven character rather than a conversational one.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient voice that stays legible at a distance while maintaining a distinctive rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes visual punch and a cohesive, modular system of shapes over delicate detail.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified construction, with many forms feeling modular and built from the same rounded-rect geometry. Numerals match the same compact, vertical stance and keep counters tight for a dense, impactful texture in paragraphs and headlines alike.
