A condensed, heavy sans with squared construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick and mostly straight, with subtle contrast showing up in places like diagonals and joins, giving the texture a slightly chiseled feel rather than a purely monolinear look. Counters are compact and often rectangular, apertures tend to be tight, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing strong silhouette-driven letterforms. Overall spacing and proportions favor verticality and density, keeping words visually compact and weighty.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where a strong, condensed voice is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and sports or event branding. It can also work for labels and UI callouts at larger sizes, though the tight counters suggest avoiding small text or low-contrast reproduction.
The font reads assertive and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in signage and display settings. Its dense, blocky shapes project strength and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling overly harsh.
Likely designed as an impact-oriented display sans that maximizes loudness and economy of space. The squared geometry and restrained contrast aim to deliver a rugged, utilitarian tone while remaining clean and legible at headline sizes.
Distinctive shapes like the angular, deep-cut diagonals on K/V/W and the squared bowls on B/P/R emphasize a mechanical, stamped aesthetic. Numerals are similarly compact and heavy, maintaining consistent color and presence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
