A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and strongly squared proportions. Strokes are thick and uniform, with corners softened into large radii that keep the texture smooth despite the mass. Many joins and terminals show small, squared notches or cut-ins (ink-trap/stencil-like details) that create crisp internal corners and improve separation in tight counters. Apertures tend to be narrow, counters are compact, and the overall rhythm is dense and chunky, with slightly varied character widths across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage where its chunky geometry and distinctive cut-ins can read clearly at larger sizes. It can work for brief subheads or labels, but long passages may feel heavy due to the dense color and tight counters.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining a retro industrial feel with a slightly futuristic, display-driven edge. The rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the sharp cut-ins add grit and mechanical precision. Overall it reads as confident and attention-grabbing rather than subtle.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, rounded-rectangle framework, while adding functional cut-ins that sharpen internal joins and give the face a distinctive mechanical texture. The result balances friendly rounding with industrial firmness for display-centric typography.
In text, the dense weight and compact counters create a strong, dark typographic color; the cut-in details become a defining texture, especially in letters with bowls and shoulders. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, rounded-rectangle construction, giving a highly consistent, engineered look.
