A heavy geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves are treated as superelliptical corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a compact, rectangular feel. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with occasional angled cuts in diagonals and at certain joins that add a slightly mechanical, punched-out impression. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s blocky construction, with single-story forms and tight internal apertures that stay legible but dense at smaller sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where its dense, blocky texture reads as confident and contemporary. It also works well for branding, packaging, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a sturdy, industrial voice, while longer text will feel heavy due to the tight apertures and strong color.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered—more machine-made than humanist. Its squared curves and cut terminals suggest a utilitarian, technical mood with a retro-industrial edge, making it feel at home in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified geometry and squared-off rounding, creating a recognizable, system-like look. The cut terminals and compact counters reinforce a functional, industrial character while keeping the forms consistent across letters and numerals.
The rhythm is strongly vertical, and the narrow counters and deep ink traps/cut-ins create distinct silhouettes in letters like a, s, and z. Numerals follow the same squared, compact logic, pairing well with headline typography where a solid, blocky texture is desirable.
