A heavy, blocky sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squared curves and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear in feel, but with noticeable internal cut-ins and notches that create sharp, high-contrast white apertures and counters. The design keeps a compact rhythm with tight interior spaces, short arms, and mostly flat terminals, yielding dense silhouettes and strong texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same rectilinear construction, with counters often rendered as narrow vertical slots and occasional angled joins that add a slightly engineered, stenciled impression.
Best suited to display roles where strong, compact letterforms can carry impact—posters, headlines, labels, and bold brand marks. It also fits wayfinding or product packaging where an industrial or retro tone is desired, and it can work for short UI labels when used large enough to preserve its internal openings.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking machinery, signage, and mid-century display typography. Its squared-yet-rounded shapes feel robust and pragmatic, while the carved-in openings add a technical, fabricated character. The result reads as retro-industrial and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to maximize visual punch through dense, rounded-rectilinear forms and engineered cut-ins that keep counters identifiable. Its construction suggests an intention to echo fabricated lettering—somewhere between stamped, routed, and stencil-like—while maintaining a consistent, modular rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and slot-like apertures may darken quickly, so it visually rewards generous sizing and spacing. The “m” shows distinctive interior striping, and several glyphs use deliberate cutaways that help differentiate similar forms while reinforcing the constructed, modular aesthetic.
