A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared curves throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad shoulders, blunt terminals, and minimal tapering, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. Counters are tight and often squarish, while circular forms read as superelliptical rather than geometric rounds. Lowercase shows single-storey shapes and simplified joins, keeping the texture consistent and emphatically bold in running text.
Best used where strong presence and immediate legibility are needed, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or signage labels. It can work for brief text blocks when a dense, bold texture is desired, but its tight counters and heavy weight make it more natural for display-led typography.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a contemporary, workmanlike feel. Its rounded corners soften the mass, but the dominant impression remains strong, direct, and no-nonsense—well suited to attention-grabbing typography without feeling playful or delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a consistent, modular superelliptical skeleton—balancing hard, industrial structure with softened corners for a modern finish. It prioritizes solid silhouettes and even rhythm over delicate detail, aiming for dependable readability at large sizes.
The design favors clarity through simplified geometry: openings and bowls are controlled and compact, and diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) are thick and stable. The numeral set matches the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic, with especially weighty forms that maintain impact at display sizes.
