A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squared curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and assertive, with mostly flat terminals and minimal modulation, creating a clean, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward boxy, superelliptical shapes (notably in O, D, 0), and several joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen interior corners and keep forms from clogging at bold sizes. Uppercase letters read relatively narrow and tall, while lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and a squared, functional feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where its dense weight and squared-round construction can deliver immediate impact. It also fits technical labeling, sports or team-style branding, and short UI labels or badges where a sturdy, engineered voice is desired.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone—confident and mechanical, with a subtle retro-instrument and sports-numbering flavor. Its rounded corners keep the voice approachable, while the condensed proportions and dense black weight add urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to merge strict, modular construction with softened corners for a contemporary industrial look, balancing toughness with legibility. The small interior cut-ins suggest a deliberate strategy to preserve clarity in tight joins at heavy weights.
The numeral set follows the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a particularly squared 0 and compact, sign-like figures. The sample text shows strong word-shape blocks and tight interior spaces, suggesting best performance at display sizes where the notches and open apertures stay clear.
