A heavy, squared sans with monoline strokes and systematically chamfered corners. The design favors boxy counters and flat terminals, with frequent notch-like cut-ins and squared-off curves that create a constructed, almost modular feel. Capitals are broad and blocky, while lowercase stays sturdy and compact with a single-storey “a” and similarly simplified forms. Numerals echo the same geometry, showing squared bowls and open, engineered interiors that keep the dark weight from clogging.
Best suited to bold headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a rugged, engineered look is desirable. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style signage, but the dense weight and squared counters are most effective in larger sizes and shorter runs of text.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, reading like signage built for impact rather than delicacy. Its angular notches and squared curves add a technical, slightly retro-futuristic flavor that feels sporty and industrial at the same time.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum presence with a constructed, industrial geometry, using chamfers and notches to differentiate the shapes and add a technical voice. The intention seems focused on creating a distinctive display sans that remains readable while projecting strength and modern utility.
The repeated corner chamfers and inset joins create a subtle stencil/slot effect across many glyphs, producing a distinctive rhythm in text. Wide strokes and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at display sizes, where the cut-ins and angular detailing remain clearly visible.
