This typeface uses compact, condensed proportions with heavy, even strokes and noticeably softened corners. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are largely flat and blunt, with occasional gentle shaping in areas like the lowercase a and t, and the overall rhythm stays tight and vertical, producing dense word silhouettes. Numerals and capitals match the same sturdy construction and maintain clear, simplified interior spaces for the weight.
It performs best in high-impact applications such as posters, headlines, signage, and bold brand marks where condensed width and strong presence help maximize attention. It can also suit packaging and label systems that need a sturdy, friendly industrial look, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels bold and self-assured, with a retro display flavor that recalls signage and poster lettering. Its rounded corners soften the mass, making it feel friendlier and more approachable than a purely rigid condensed grotesk, while still reading as strong and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-efficient display voice with softened geometry, combining strong stroke weight with rounded-rectangle construction for a distinctive, sign-like silhouette. It prioritizes immediate visual impact and consistent, modular forms over delicate detail.
The design keeps a consistent, modular logic across the set, with repeated rounded-rectangle motifs in bowls (B, D, O, P, Q) and a tall, streamlined stance in straight letters (E, F, H, I, N). The lowercase includes a single-storey a and compact, rounded joins in m/n, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented texture in running text.
