A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners. Strokes are massive and largely uniform, with tight internal counters and a compact, vertical rhythm. Many letters incorporate narrow, straight-sided “cuts” that act like stencil breaks, creating small apertures and giving the forms a segmented, engineered feel. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, and terminals tend to end flat and broad, reinforcing the dense, monolithic texture in text.
Best suited for large-size applications such as posters, headlines, titles, and branding where the bold silhouette and segmented details can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefit from an industrial or retro-display voice. For body text, it’s likely to perform better in short bursts or at generous sizes due to its dense counters and strong internal breaks.
The overall tone is bold and industrial, with a distinct retro display flavor. The stencil-like interruptions add a rugged, mechanical personality while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and slightly playful. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, suited to statements rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rounded-rectangular letterforms and stencil-like internal separations. It aims for a distinctive, modular display look that stays cohesive across the alphabet while projecting a sturdy, manufactured character.
In longer lines the tight counters and frequent internal cuts produce a strong, patterned texture, so spacing and size choice will significantly affect legibility. The design’s squared curves and chunky joins create a consistent, modular feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
