A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and compact with small counters and narrow apertures, creating dense letterforms that hold a uniform, monolithic color. Many joins and interior corners are opened by sharp, triangular notches, giving a cut-out/ink-trap look that adds definition at display sizes. Terminals tend to be flat with softened corners, and proportions run fairly tall with short extenders and tightly framed bowls.
Best used at display sizes where the compact counters and interior cut-ins remain clear. It works well for headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging that benefits from a bold, industrial voice. Short phrases, labels, and strong typographic lockups are especially effective; for extended reading, generous size and tracking help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a distinctly industrial, stamped feel. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, while the internal cut-ins add a mechanical, engineered character. It reads as retro-futuristic and attention-grabbing, suited to designs that want impact and personality over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, rounded-rect silhouette, combining soft corners with engineered cut-ins to increase character definition. It aims for a distinctive, modern-industrial display presence with a consistent modular system across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears built for headline settings: the dense shapes and tight counters can visually close up in long text, while the distinctive interior notches help preserve character differentiation. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-rounded construction, reinforcing a consistent, modular rhythm across the set.
