A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and solid, with tight apertures and a sturdy, slightly compressed proportion that keeps letters tall and economical. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving rounds like C, O, and G a squared-off softness. Terminals are blunt, joins are firm, and counters stay relatively small, producing strong color and a consistent, poster-ready rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where a dense, confident silhouette is an advantage. It also works well for signage and UI moments like section headers or badges when space is tight and strong emphasis is needed.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, mixing an industrial straightforwardness with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It feels slightly retro—like stamped signage or packaging—while staying clean and modern enough for contemporary display use.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence in a compact width, using superelliptical curves and rounded corners to soften an otherwise sturdy, industrial structure. It prioritizes clarity and impact in display settings while maintaining a consistent, system-like geometry.
Wide, blocky capitals pair with simpler, sturdy lowercase forms; the overall texture stays dense and even, especially in longer lines. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rectangle logic, emphasizing legibility and weight over delicacy.
