A heavy, geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners and minimal contrast, creating a sturdy, machined rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into flat terminals and squared shoulders, while joins sometimes pinch into narrow notches that give a subtly cut or segmented feel. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and rounded-square interiors; figures share the same boxy curvature and dense color.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding, packaging, and signage where its dense weight and squared-round geometry can carry presence. It also works well for tech or industrial-themed graphics, labels, and UI callouts when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, equipment marks, and mid-century display typography. Its rounded-square geometry reads technical and controlled, while the slightly cut joins add a tough, engineered edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust geometric voice: squared, rounded forms for clarity and consistency, paired with subtle cut-ins at joins to create a distinctive, engineered personality for display typography.
Counters stay relatively tight, so the texture becomes very dark at smaller sizes and benefits from generous tracking. Distinctive silhouettes in letters like J, K, Q, and the diagonals (V/W/X/Y) add character, making it better suited to display roles than extended text.
