A compact, heavy sans with a consistent, thick stroke and a noticeable backward slant. Forms are built from squared, rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, bowls read as squarish superellipses, and counters are tight and often vertically oriented. Terminals are mostly flat and chopped, giving letters a stamped, cut-out feel, while rounded joins keep the texture cohesive. Overall spacing is on the tight side, producing a dense, dark typographic color with crisp silhouettes and strong rhythm in caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can work well in short bursts of text at larger sizes, where its compact width and strong shapes create a distinctive, high-energy voice.
The design conveys an assertive, engineered tone—like signage, machinery labeling, or vintage display typography. Its backward lean and chunky construction add urgency and attitude, reading as bold, energetic, and slightly retro. The overall impression is functional yet stylized, suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to maximize visual impact in limited horizontal space, using heavy, simplified geometry and a backward slant to create a distinctive, industrial-leaning display voice. Its consistent construction suggests an intention toward bold branding and headline work where quick recognition and a strong silhouette are priorities.
Several glyphs emphasize vertical interior cuts and narrow apertures, which strengthens the compressed, high-contrast silhouette at larger sizes. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified structure with minimal modulation, and numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic for consistent set harmony.
