A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions, compact counters, and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight and orthogonal, with occasional chamfered or notched joins that create angular terminals and sharp interior cut-ins. Curves (as in O, C, and S) are flattened into rounded-rectangle forms, while diagonals appear in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z with sturdy, slab-like geometry. The contrast reads as selective thinning at joins and cutouts rather than delicate hairlines, producing crisp highlights inside otherwise massive shapes.
This design suits short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, badges, and branding marks where dense black shapes and angular details can carry the composition. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from an engineered, industrial voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the interior notches and compact counters remain legible.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, suggesting machinery, sports signage, and bold headline-driven graphics. Its squared silhouettes and tight apertures lend a no-nonsense, slightly retro-industrial feel that reads as confident and impactful at a distance.
The font appears intended as a display sans that maximizes impact through blocky geometry, flattened curves, and purposeful cut-ins at joins. Its construction emphasizes strength and clarity in bold settings while preserving distinctive letterforms through angular terminals and squared bowls.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for display use, with dense internal space and pronounced ink traps/notches helping maintain clarity in tight corners. Numerals follow the same squared, engineered logic, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a cohesive, sign-like presence.
