A compact, heavy sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry and straight, monoline strokes. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel. Many glyphs incorporate narrow vertical cut-ins and notches that create a subtle stencil-like rhythm, while terminals stay crisp and flat. The overall silhouette is tall and tightly set, producing strong vertical emphasis and high impact in short line lengths.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, signage, and logotypes where compact width and strong weight help text dominate the layout. It also works well for sporty or industrial branding and short callouts, especially when set with generous tracking or in all caps for maximum clarity.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, and display titling. Its compressed, blocky forms feel confident and mechanical, projecting urgency and strength more than friendliness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining a consistent rounded-rect geometry. The added cut-ins and notches suggest an aim for a distinctive, engineered personality—somewhere between modern display sans and vintage stencil-inspired lettering.
The font maintains consistent stroke weight and corner radii across letters and numerals, which helps it read as a cohesive system. The distinctive internal slits and narrow apertures add character but also increase visual noise, making it better suited to larger sizes than long passages.
