A heavy, compact sans with squared geometry and softly rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with minimal contrast and a generally closed, block-like construction in counters and apertures. Curves are flattened into geometric arcs (notably in C, G, S, and O), while diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y are straight and assertive. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a and g; punctuation and figures follow the same chunky, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where strong presence is desired, such as posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where its compact, closed forms remain clear.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, machinery stencils without the breaks, and straightforward modern signage. Its compact shapes and tight apertures feel pragmatic and no-nonsense, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, space-efficient sans for high-impact display typography, using squared geometry and minimal detail to create a durable, industrial voice.
Many glyphs lean toward rectangular counters and squared terminals, which increases visual mass and gives lines of text a strong, even texture. The numerals are similarly blocky and stable, with clear silhouettes that read well at display sizes.
