A heavy, compact sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles, and terminals are mostly flat with occasional angled cuts. Counters are tight and geometric, producing a dense, sturdy texture, while joins and shoulders stay blunt and mechanical rather than calligraphic. The lowercase keeps a large, prominent x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and many letters show slightly narrowed apertures that emphasize a vertical, sign-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky geometry, with consistent stroke weight and firm interior corners softened by radiused outer corners.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and logotypes where strong impact and a compact footprint are needed. It also works well for labels, packaging, and signage that benefit from an industrial, engineered voice and consistent geometry.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sports branding, and bold mid-century display lettering. Its squared rounding gives it a friendly edge, but the dense proportions and strong verticals keep it commanding and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, rounded-rect silhouette, balancing strict, machine-like construction with softened corners for approachability. Its proportions and dense color suggest a focus on display typography for branding and short, high-impact text.
In text, the tight counters and compact spacing create a dark, continuous color, making it most comfortable at larger sizes where the interior shapes can breathe. Distinctive forms like the squared bowls and the rounded-rect “O/0” family reinforce a cohesive, engineered feel across letters and figures.
