A condensed, heavy sans with a rounded-rectangle construction: bowls and counters are squarish with softened corners, producing a superelliptic feel rather than true circles. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with small, rectangular apertures and tight internal spaces that emphasize a dense, compact texture. Terminals are blunt and squared off, and many curves resolve into straight segments, giving the alphabet a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The overall silhouette is tall and compressed, with crisp edges and minimal modulation, and numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-corner logic for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where dense, high-impact letterforms are desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, wayfinding, and bold UI/graphic accents where a compact footprint and sturdy shapes help maintain presence. For longer text, generous spacing and size will improve legibility.
The tone is forceful and functional, leaning toward an athletic and industrial voice. Its compact, squared curves suggest machinery, signage, and utilitarian labeling, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The result reads as confident and direct, with a slightly retro, display-oriented character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using squared-off, rounded-rectangle forms to create a cohesive, industrial display texture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke weight for high contrast against backgrounds and quick recognition at a glance.
Because counters and apertures are relatively tight, the face reads best when given room—larger sizes or increased tracking help preserve clarity. The tall, condensed proportions create a strong vertical emphasis that stands out in stacked layouts and narrow spaces.
