A heavy, squared sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp, orthogonal joins softened by small corner radii, creating a compact, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular apertures; curves are minimized and resolved as rounded corners rather than true circular bowls. Uppercase forms read tall and narrow, while lowercase is compact with a single-storey “a,” a firm, squared “e,” and short, blocky terminals. Figures are boxy and uniform in color, with simplified geometry and minimal modulation for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to display settings where strong color and geometric silhouettes are desired: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging fronts, and wayfinding or industrial-inspired signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a technical, compact look is needed, especially with ample tracking.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and mid-century display typography. Its squared, rounded-corner shapes feel technical and purposeful, with a slightly retro-industrial character that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual solidity using a modular, rounded-rectangle skeleton, prioritizing bold presence and straightforward legibility over delicate detail. Its consistent geometry suggests an intention to feel manufactured and systematized, with a retro-technical edge.
The design relies on straight stems and flat horizontals, with distinctive inset-like notches and rectangular counters that give many letters a cut-out, stenciled-adjacent flavor without fully breaking strokes. The compact apertures and dense black shape create strong impact at large sizes, while smaller sizes may require generous spacing to keep counters from closing visually.
