A heavy, block-oriented sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with tight interior apertures and squared counters that read as punched-out shapes, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, curves are minimized in favor of superelliptical bowls, and many forms show deliberate notch-like cut-ins that add rhythm and separation at joins. Lowercase features a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, keeping lines dense and emphatic, while figures and capitals maintain a sturdy, uniform silhouette suited to bold setting.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where high-impact, condensed-looking forms are desirable. It works well for logos, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from an industrial or retro-tech voice, and it can carry short passages when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian with a distinctly retro display energy—part industrial signage, part arcade or sci‑fi titling. Its dense silhouettes and squared-round geometry feel confident and mechanical, projecting impact more than warmth or delicacy.
The font appears designed to maximize visual weight and presence using rounded-rectangular geometry and tight counters, aiming for a bold, contemporary display voice with retro-industrial cues and clear, repeatable shapes.
The design relies on internal white shapes and narrow openings for character differentiation, which creates a strong black texture and a slightly stencil-like, cut-out impression at text sizes. Spacing appears steady and compact, reinforcing a solid, billboard-ready rhythm.
