A condensed, heavy sans with squared-off, superellipse-based curves and consistently rounded outer corners. Strokes are monoline and dense, with compact counters and short apertures that create a solid, poster-like texture. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, and many letters are built from straight-sided forms with softly radiused joins, giving the alphabet a machined, uniform rhythm. Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, keeping proportions tight and sturdy across the set.
Best suited to display settings where impact and space efficiency matter: headlines, poster typography, packaging, labels, and bold brand wordmarks. It also works well for signage-style layouts and short blocks of text when set with generous size and tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and functional, evoking industrial signage and mid-century display lettering. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise assertive, no-nonsense voice, making it feel both retro and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact footprint while maintaining a cohesive rounded-rectangle construction. Its controlled geometry and uniform stroke behavior suggest a focus on strong legibility at display sizes and a distinctive, industrial-leaning personality.
The condensed width and tight interior spaces can make similar shapes converge at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes the consistent corner rounding and straight-sided bowls read as a distinctive, engineered style. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s compact construction, reinforcing a strong, rhythmic texture in paragraphs or stacked lines.
