A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-driven curves and broadly uniform stroke weight. Counters are small and rectangular-oval, terminals are blunt, and corners are softly rounded rather than sharply cut. The design is tightly proportioned with short extenders and a large lowercase presence, giving lines a dense, continuous texture. Forms like O/0 and D lean on rounded-rectangle geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are straight and rigid, reinforcing the engineered, blocky construction.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as headlines, posters, and storefront or wayfinding text where compact width and strong shapes help conserve space. It also fits packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks that benefit from an industrial, high-impact texture and clearly carved counters at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with an industrial, poster-like immediacy. Its condensed heft reads as confident and no-nonsense, evoking workwear labeling, sports headlines, and mid-century display typography where impact and space efficiency matter more than delicacy.
The design intent appears focused on delivering maximum visual weight in a compact footprint while keeping shapes simple and mechanically consistent. Rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals aim for fast recognition and a bold, utilitarian character suitable for branding and display typography.
Spacing appears designed to keep silhouettes tight and rectangular, producing a strong vertical rhythm in paragraphs. The numeral set matches the letterforms in width and weight, maintaining a consistent, signage-friendly presence. The lowercase ‘a’ is single-storey and the ‘g’ is simple and closed, supporting a straightforward, functional voice.
