A heavy, expanded sans with squared-off curves and a crisp, engineered construction. Strokes show clear contrast, with prominent thick verticals and thinner joins and horizontals, producing a sharp, poster-like rhythm. Bowls and counters are relatively compact, with flattened terminals and subtly squared rounding that keeps curves from feeling soft. Spacing reads generous laterally, and the forms feel stable and controlled, with a consistent, uniform finish across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where impact and immediate legibility are priorities. It can work well for signage, product packaging, and bold brand wordmarks that benefit from a wide, authoritative voice. For longer text, it’s likely most comfortable in short bursts (subheads, labels, calls to action) rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is forceful and straightforward, leaning toward contemporary, industrial signage rather than friendly branding. Its wide stance and dark color create an attention-grabbing presence that feels confident and emphatic. The squared geometry adds a technical, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a wide footprint, controlled geometry, and deliberate stroke contrast. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a clean, contemporary finish for display-driven typography.
Round letters like O and C appear more rectangular than circular, reinforcing the constructed feel. Numerals are similarly robust and open, designed to hold up at large sizes with strong silhouette recognition. At smaller sizes the compact counters and heavy weight may close in, so it reads best when given room.
