A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, poster-like texture. Counters are small and often squared-off, and joins and terminals favor straight cuts over calligraphic shaping, giving the forms a sturdy, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is tight and economical, with condensed proportions and sturdy, simplified geometry across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where strong presence is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold branding locks-ups. It also works well for labels, merchandise, and social graphics where condensed width helps fit impactful text into tight spaces.
The font conveys a bold, assertive tone with a friendly edge from its rounded corners. Its compressed, blocky shapes read as utilitarian and industrial, while the slightly quirky, squared counters add a casual, vintage flavor. The result feels energetic and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while keeping shapes approachable through rounded-rectangle geometry. Its simplified, sturdy construction suggests a focus on high visibility and a distinctive, compact voice for display typography.
In the sample text the weight creates a strong dark mass, and the narrow set makes long lines feel dense and emphatic. The numerals follow the same chunky, squared/rounded logic, supporting cohesive headline and label use where impact is prioritized over airy readability.
