A compact, heavy sans with softly squared, superelliptical curves and a consistently rounded-corner construction. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with short apertures and tight counters that emphasize a solid, block-like silhouette. Terminals are clean and blunt, and many forms lean on rounded-rectangle geometry (notably in bowls and shoulders), producing a steady, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, while figures are similarly compact and built for impact.
Best used for headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from a sturdy, space-efficient word shape. For longer text, it will read most comfortably with generous size and leading to offset the dense texture.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining an industrial sturdiness with a slightly friendly softness from the rounded corners. It feels assertive and attention-grabbing, suited to energetic, practical messaging rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms consistent and approachable while retaining a tough, industrial presence.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces create a strong vertical emphasis and high ink density. This makes the typeface visually powerful at display sizes, while smaller sizes may appear dark where counters and apertures close up.
