A heavy, geometric sans with monospaced spacing and strongly rectangular proportions. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and compact apertures. Curves are built from broad, rounded segments (notably in C/O/S), while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, squared-off endings that keep the silhouette sturdy and uniform. The lowercase has a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall texture reads as a tight, even rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, big headlines, signage, and bold labeling where its dense shapes and monospaced cadence become a graphic asset. It can also work for interface readouts or technical-style layouts when used at larger sizes with generous line spacing to offset its tight internal counters.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a distinctly technical, machine-made feel. Its chunky geometry and uniform spacing also evoke a retro computing or labeling aesthetic, giving it a straightforward, workmanlike voice with a hint of nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and uniformity through a monospaced, heavily built structure. Its simplified, geometric forms suggest an aim toward durable legibility and a distinctly mechanical texture for display typography.
Round characters stay wide and stable rather than elegant, and many forms prioritize clarity through simplified construction over openness. Numerals are bold and billboard-like, matching the weight and footprint of the capitals for a highly consistent set across letters and figures.
