A heavy, compact sans with block-like letterforms softened by rounded-rectangle corners and superellipse bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with short counters and tight apertures, creating a dense silhouette and strong color on the page. Curves feel squared-off rather than circular, and terminals are blunt, producing a sturdy, poster-ready rhythm. Uppercase forms are wide and weighty, while the lowercase maintains a large, boxy presence with minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and bold signage. It holds up well at large sizes where its rounded-rectangular construction and compact counters read clearly, while extended paragraphs may feel heavy due to the dense texture.
The font conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone with a friendly edge—like industrial signage translated into a rounded, approachable display style. Its chunky geometry reads as retro and energetic, emphasizing impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick strokes and compact counters while keeping the tone approachable via rounded, superellipse-based shaping. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent geometry for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive features include squared bowls (notably in O, C, G, and e), a compact, almost stencil-like interior spacing in some letters, and numerals that match the same rounded-rectangular construction for a cohesive set. The overall texture is bold and uniform, with letterspacing that appears comfortable for headlines but visually dense in longer lines.
