This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and clean, monoline strokes. Curves are built from near-circular forms with generous counters (notably in O, Q, and the bowls of B/P/R), while straight strokes keep a crisp, uniform rhythm. Terminals are mostly squared and blunt, with occasional angled cuts in diagonals, giving letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y a sharp, engineered feel. The lowercase stays simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a compact, straight-shouldered r, and a short, firm t; punctuation and figures follow the same dense, even color.
Its strong weight and broad stance make it effective for headlines, posters, and large-format typography where bold presence is required. The clean geometry and open counters also support branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a direct, high-impact sans.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with a streamlined, utilitarian character softened by round geometry. It reads as practical and confident—suited to brands or layouts that want clarity and punch without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans with a distinctive modular twist, adding visual identity through selective breaks while maintaining a solid, high-contrast-free texture for display use.
Distinctive stencil-like interruptions appear in several capitals (such as B, D, E, F, P, and R), creating a segmented, modular look while preserving legibility. The numerals are robust and open, with simple construction and consistent weight that matches the letterforms.
