A heavy, block-forward sans with broad proportions and large internal counters. Curves are simplified into rounded rectangles and shallow arcs, producing a sturdy, geometric rhythm with minimal modulation. Terminals are mostly flat and decisive, and joins feel compact and dense, giving the alphabet a strong, poster-like color. Numerals and uppercase share the same stout, even texture, with clear, uncomplicated silhouettes that favor consistency over delicacy.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and display settings where a strong typographic stamp is desired. It also works well for simple signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a consistent, grid-driven texture and high visual weight.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with an industrial confidence that reads as direct and no-nonsense. Its dense strokes and squared forms lend a pragmatic, signage-like presence that feels modern and utilitarian rather than refined or elegant.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact and clarity with a simplified geometric construction, prioritizing uniform texture and strong silhouettes for display communication. The forms suggest an emphasis on practicality and repeatable rhythm in bold typographic systems.
Spacing and alignment create a disciplined, grid-friendly texture that stays even across mixed-case sample text. The lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with sturdy bowls and a compact overall feel, emphasizing solidity and legibility at larger sizes.
