A heavy, compact sans with strongly squared geometry and softened corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, black color on the page and consistent rhythm across lines. Curves are built from simple, rounded shapes (notably in C, O, and G), while many joins and terminals resolve into flat, horizontal or vertical cuts. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, a round dot on i/j, and a short, sturdy ascender/descender feel; numerals are equally weighty, with a plain, vertical 1 and a compact 0.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and bold callouts where a compact, forceful texture is desirable. It also fits utilitarian applications like signage, labels, and packaging where consistent weight and sturdy shapes help maintain legibility and presence.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, leaning toward a mechanical, engineered feel rather than expressive or delicate. Its dense weight and simplified forms read as dependable and authoritative, with a hint of retro signage or equipment labeling.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, uniform typographic voice with simplified, geometric construction and a compact footprint, prioritizing consistency and impact in display and functional contexts.
The design emphasizes even texture and clear silhouettes over finesse, making words form strong rectangular blocks. Internal counters are relatively tight at this weight, which reinforces a punchy, poster-like presence and favors moderate-to-large sizes for maximum clarity.
