A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared silhouettes and subtly rounded outer corners. Strokes show clear contrast created by narrow interior counters, notches, and occasional vertical cut-ins, giving many letters a carved, almost stencil-like rhythm. Curves are minimal and geometric; bowls and apertures are tightened, producing compact counters in letters like O, D, P, and R. Terminals are blunt and flat, with occasional angled or stepped joins (notably in diagonals and on characters like K, X, and Y), reinforcing a modular, engineered feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding marks where its compact counters and carved details can remain clear. It also fits signage-style applications and punchy editorial titling, especially in short bursts rather than long paragraphs.
The tone is forceful and industrial, with a retro display attitude reminiscent of utilitarian signage and bold title lettering. Its tight counters and chiseled details add a slightly aggressive, mechanical edge that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an engineered, modular construction, using cut-ins and tight counters to introduce contrast and character without adding decorative flourishes. It prioritizes strong presence and distinctive silhouette for display settings.
The numerals follow the same squared, notched construction, with distinctive internal cut shapes that help separate similar forms. In text, the dense color and narrow counters create a strong horizontal banding, making it most comfortable at larger sizes where the interior detailing has room to breathe.
