A tall, blocky display sans with angular construction and prominent internal cut-ins that create a stenciled, beveled impression. Strokes are heavy and mostly straight, with sharp cornering and narrow apertures that keep counters compact and vertical. Many terminals show notches or step-like chamfers, and several letters feature asymmetric joints that add a machined rhythm. Spacing reads fairly tight in text, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent cap height and x-height presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product marks, and packaging where its dense shapes can carry the layout. It can also work for signage or labels that benefit from a rugged, industrial flavor, but is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to tight apertures and heavy color.
The overall tone is industrial and assertive, evoking machine plates, sports headers, and retro technical signage. Its sharp cuts and dense black mass project confidence and intensity, giving it a bold, utilitarian personality with a vintage edge.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch while maintaining a controlled, engineered structure. The repeated notches and chamfers suggest a deliberate “machined” motif aimed at creating a distinctive, vintage-industrial display voice.
Curved glyphs (like C, G, S, and 0) are rendered as squarish arcs with flat segments, reinforcing the geometric, engineered feel. The numeral set matches the caps in weight and stance, and the diagonal forms (K, V, W, X, Y) use chunky joins that prioritize impact over delicacy.
