A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and blunt terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, with smooth curve-to-stem joins that keep bowls and rounds clean and even. Proportions are condensed with tall, straight verticals and relatively narrow counters, while apertures stay fairly open for clarity. Curved letters like C, G, S, and O lean toward oval forms, and diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are sturdy and simplified, giving the overall rhythm a tight, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact and compactness matter: headlines, posters, packaging fronts, badges, and signage. It can also support logo wordmarks and UI labels that need a dense, high-contrast-in-size look, though extended body text may feel heavy and tight at smaller sizes.
The tone is practical and confident, with a slightly retro, sign-painting or industrial labeling feel. Its rounded edges soften the weight, adding approachability without losing a strong, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver strong readability and space efficiency in a bold, rounded sans voice. Its simplified geometry and softened corners suggest a focus on versatile display use that feels modern yet nods to mid-century signage and industrial typography.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” with a compact ear, a “t” with a short crossbar and curved foot, and a “g” that reads as a rounded loop with a closed lower form. Numerals are sturdy and simple, with clear shapes intended for quick recognition.
