A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and chamfer-like curves. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with tight interior counters and small apertures that give the letters a carved, stencil-adjacent feel without actually breaking strokes. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and many joins are reinforced by smooth, scooped transitions that read like subtle ink-trap shaping. The overall rhythm is dense and architectural, with wide, solid forms and assertive verticals that hold together strongly at display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage where thick forms and sculpted counters can read clearly. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and merch graphics when a retro-industrial tone is desired.
The font projects a bold, retro-industrial attitude—confident, loud, and slightly playful due to its softened corners and sculpted cut-ins. It evokes mid-century signage and arcade/console-era graphics, balancing toughness with a friendly, rounded finish.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with a softened, engineered silhouette—combining chunky sign-lettering solidity with sculpted interior shaping that keeps dense letters from clogging. The intention appears to be a distinctive display sans that feels vintage and mechanical while remaining approachable.
Round letters like O and Q feel squared-off and engineered rather than geometric, and the numerals echo the same chunky, sign-paint-inspired construction. The strong black shapes and compressed openings suggest prioritizing impact over long-text comfort, especially in smaller sizes.
