A compact, heavy display face built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners and broadly squared counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins show small wedge-like notches that read as ink-trap detailing. Curves (C, G, O, Q, S) are tightened and squarish rather than fully circular, while verticals stay straight and assertive. Spacing appears tight and rhythmically even, producing a dense, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where high visual impact is needed: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or labels, but its dense color and tight internal spaces suggest using larger sizes or generous leading for longer passages.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian with a slightly quirky, vintage edge. Its compact shapes and squared rounds evoke signage and packaging lettering, balancing mechanical sturdiness with a hint of playful charm from the softened geometry and notched joins.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, combining squared, superelliptical curves with robust stroke weight for strong readability in bold display contexts. The notched joins and compact counters appear intended to preserve clarity and character when set tightly or used in print-heavy applications.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, architectural silhouettes, while the lowercase mixes single-storey shapes with compact bowls and short terminals that keep the line length controlled. Numerals are hefty and legible, with strong silhouettes suited to quick recognition at distance.
