A heavy, compact display face built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with tight counters and a strong vertical stance. Strokes are largely monolinear in mass but show crisp internal cut-ins and notch-like joins that create a high-contrast, chiseled rhythm in letters such as E, F, T, and the lowercase. Terminals are squared-off with softened corners, producing a blocky silhouette that stays clean and consistent across the set. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, with enclosed, rounded counters and firm, flat baselines for a poster-ready presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a strong, compact voice is needed. It also fits wayfinding and signage-style applications, particularly when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, while the cut-in details add a crafted, mechanical edge that reads as retro signage and athletic headline energy.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through dense, rounded-rect construction and controlled internal cut-ins, balancing friendliness (via softened corners) with a tough, engineered presence. The consistent modularity suggests an intention toward bold display settings where silhouette and rhythm carry the message.
The design’s tight apertures and dense counters favor larger sizes, where the internal notches and rounded-rect geometry are most legible. Uppercase forms feel especially uniform and modular, while the lowercase introduces distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes (notably in a, t, and y) that emphasize its display intent.
