A compact, heavy text face with broad, blunt strokes and minimal modulation. Curves resolve into squared-off, superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving round letters a subtly rectangular footprint. Terminals are mostly flat and firm, with short, bracket-like transitions where strokes meet, and a generally tight, economical rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with clear two-storey forms and modest apertures; figures are solid and tabular-feeling, built from the same squared curves and strong verticals.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a dense, confident texture is desirable. It can work well in editorial layouts, packaging, and signage that benefit from compact width and strong presence, especially at medium to large sizes where the squared curves become a recognizable stylistic signature.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a slightly vintage, newspaper-like seriousness. Its dense color and squared curves read as dependable and no-nonsense, projecting authority without feeling ornate. The texture suggests industrial signage and editorial typography more than refined book elegance.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact and clarity in limited horizontal space, pairing a robust stroke weight with softened, squared curves for a distinctive yet highly practical voice. It balances straightforward readability with a subtly stylized geometry that helps it stand out in display and editorial contexts.
The design emphasizes strong vertical structure and compact spacing, producing a dark, even typographic color in paragraphs. The squarish curvature in letters like C, O, and S creates a distinctive, machined smoothness rather than a purely geometric circle-based feel.
