A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and softly chamfered corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong, steady color on the line. The proportions lean broad and sturdy, with squared-off terminals, short joins, and compact apertures that keep forms tight and punchy. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round geometry for a consistent, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding systems where its dense forms and strong silhouettes can dominate. It can also work for packaging and labels that need an assertive, compact look, especially at larger sizes where counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a retro, athletic energy that feels ready-made for loud statements. Rounded corners soften the mass, adding approachability while keeping an unmistakably tough, industrial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, blending toughness with a friendly edge. It prioritizes strong, repeatable shapes and a compact rhythm to stay readable and recognizable in attention-grabbing display typography.
The large weight and tight internal spaces make spacing and word shapes feel compact, emphasizing silhouette over fine detail. Round letters stay more squarish than circular, reinforcing the family’s rounded-rectangle identity across text and display sizes.
