A heavy, geometric sans with squared-round construction: most curves resolve into rounded rectangles and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes are monolinear with blunt terminals, tight apertures, and compact counters that create a dense, high-impact texture. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes with short ascenders and a single-storey “a.” Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with rounded-corner interiors and uniform stroke weight that keeps the set visually consistent.
Well-suited for headlines, wordmarks, and short, punchy messaging where its blocky geometry can carry personality. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a rugged, industrial presence, and works effectively for numerals in badges or display readouts.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and retro technical graphics. Its squared curves and compressed openings give it a mechanical, no-nonsense feel with a slight arcade/70s–80s display flavor.
The font appears intended as a bold display sans that translates geometric, rounded-rectangle forms into a cohesive alphabet with a distinctly mechanical rhythm. It prioritizes impact and shape-driven recognition over open, text-oriented readability.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and flat horizontal/vertical cuts, producing a strong grid-like rhythm. In longer text, the tight counters and enclosed shapes read best at larger sizes where interior space remains clear.
