A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with broad, squared terminals that keep edges crisp while maintaining a friendly roundover. Counters tend toward superelliptical shapes and stay fairly closed at text sizes, giving the face a dense, poster-like color. The lowercase is compact with a single-storey “a,” a tight, upright “e,” and a short-armed “r,” while the numerals match the same blocky, rounded rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where bold, compact letterforms need to hold their shape at a distance. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when spacing is adjusted to prevent counters from closing up.
The overall tone feels bold and confident, with an industrial, slightly retro flavor. Rounded corners and compact geometry add a playful approachability, but the dense texture keeps it punchy and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with friendliness. Its consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest an emphasis on bold display clarity and a cohesive, modular visual system.
The design’s narrow proportions and tight internal space make it most effective when allowed room for tracking and line spacing. Its rounded-square logic reads especially clearly in curved letters like C, G, O, and S, creating a consistent, engineered look across caps, lowercase, and figures.
