A compact, heavy sans with a strongly rectilinear construction and rounded corners that soften otherwise blocky forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins are squared-off, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters tend to be tight and geometric (notably in O, e, and 8), and terminals are generally flat, producing a dense, high-ink texture. The overall rhythm is even and grid-friendly, with robust capitals and straightforward lowercase shapes that keep a uniform, workmanlike cadence.
Well suited to bold headlines, posters, and signage where a dense, industrial sans can carry impact at a distance. It also fits packaging and label-style applications that benefit from a compact, stamped-looking presence, and can work for UI badges or data tags when large enough to keep counters open.
The tone reads pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and mid-century utilitarian graphics. Its firmness and compactness suggest durability and clarity over expressiveness, creating a confident, functional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, space-efficient sans that feels systematic and dependable, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent spacing for grid-based layouts. Its softened corners and geometric counters add approachability without losing the utilitarian, technical character.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a and g, a compact t with a short crossbar, and numerals that feel engineered for solidity (the 0 is narrow with a diagonal slash). Round letters are more squared than circular, and the heavy weight encourages short, punchy settings rather than delicate typographic color.
