A heavy, rounded-rectilinear sans built from squarish superellipse forms with strongly softened corners. Strokes are thick and compact with prominent ink traps and interior cut-ins that create crisp counters and help keep openings readable at display sizes. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared off, and many letters show deliberate notches or stepped joins, producing a slightly mechanical, cut-out rhythm. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-rectangle construction, with tight apertures and sturdy vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short bursts of text where its chunky silhouettes and carved details can be appreciated. It can work well on packaging and signage that benefits from a sturdy, industrial voice and high-impact presence. For long passages at small sizes, the tight apertures may feel dense, so larger sizes and generous leading help.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, mixing industrial toughness with a playful, retro signage feel. The rounded corners keep it friendly, while the squared proportions and carved-in details add a utilitarian, engineered attitude. It reads confident and attention-seeking rather than subtle.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, engineered texture—pairing rounded-square geometry with deliberate cut-ins to maintain legibility while adding attitude. The consistent superellipse construction suggests an intention toward a cohesive, logo-friendly display style that feels both retro and industrial.
The design’s distinctive character comes from its repeated notches and narrow interior openings, which create a consistent texture and a strong silhouette in words. Spacing appears tuned for headline use, where the dense shapes form a cohesive, graphic line. The lowercase maintains the same blocky construction as the uppercase, giving mixed-case settings a unified, display-driven color.
