A heavy, compact sans with squared, rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and a strong, even color. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and counters, while terminals stay clean and blunt, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and apertures are relatively narrow, keeping forms dense and space-efficient. Diagonals and joins read crisp and controlled, and the numerals match the same chunky, squared-off geometry for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, and bold display lines where dense texture and strong silhouettes are assets. It also fits branding marks, packaging panels, and short-callout signage that needs to read quickly at medium-to-large sizes. For extended text, it works more reliably in brief bursts with added spacing.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a contemporary industrial edge and a hint of retro poster heft. Its compact shapes and dense counters project strength and authority, making it feel punchy and attention-forward rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint: a bold, space-efficient sans built on rounded-rect geometry to stay modern and cohesive while retaining a tough, utilitarian feel.
Because internal spaces are tight at this weight, readability benefits from generous tracking and line spacing, especially in long blocks. The superelliptical rounding keeps the mass from feeling harsh, balancing the blockiness with a friendly smoothness.
