This typeface uses tightly condensed proportions with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are squared off into superellipse-like bowls and counters, producing a blocky silhouette with softened corners rather than true geometric circles. The verticals dominate, terminals are mostly blunt, and joins stay clean and simplified, giving letters a compact, poster-ready rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a large, sturdy presence, with single-storey shapes and minimal delicate detailing, while figures follow the same squared, sturdy logic for a consistent texture.
Best suited to display applications where compact width and strong presence are advantages, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and product labeling. It also fits wayfinding and bold signage that needs a condensed footprint. For longer editorial copy, it will read most comfortably in short bursts, callouts, or subheads rather than extended paragraphs.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a slightly retro, sign-painting and industrial label feel. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, but the condensed massing reads as confident and attention-grabbing. The voice is direct and functional, leaning more toward utility and impact than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, simplified construction, and consistent weight to create a dependable, high-visibility display voice.
In running text the narrow set and dense weight create a strong vertical cadence, making spacing and line length feel tight and energetic. The squared counters and rounded corners maintain clarity at display sizes, while the overall blackness can become visually dominant in longer passages.
