A compact, block-built sans with squared geometry and softened corners. Strokes are heavy with visible modulation: verticals tend to read sturdier while joins, diagonals, and some terminals thin down, creating a punchy, engineered rhythm. Counters are small and often rectangular, with several letters showing notched or cut-in terminals that evoke a stencil or machined finish. Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g), with short apertures and firm, straight-sided bowls that keep the overall texture dense and uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and bold brand marks where its dense texture and machined details can read clearly. It can also work for sports or motorsport-style branding and packaging labels that benefit from an industrial, engineered voice; for long passages, its tight counters and heavy texture may demand generous sizing and spacing.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, balancing a retro display feel with a contemporary, tech-forward edge. Its squared curves and clipped details suggest utility, speed, and hardware-like precision, giving it a sporty, industrial confidence.
Likely designed as a display sans that merges sturdy, squared construction with controlled stroke modulation and notched terminals to create a distinctive, hardware-inspired voice. The goal appears to be immediate impact and strong silhouette recognition, with enough detailing to feel custom and branded rather than purely utilitarian.
The design favors closed shapes and tight internal space, which increases visual weight in text and makes word shapes feel strongly modular. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) and numerals show pronounced angularity, while rounded corners prevent the forms from feeling overly harsh. The cut-in details are consistent enough to feel intentional and systematized rather than decorative one-offs.
