A compact, heavy block sans with angular construction and squared counters. Strokes are predominantly monolinear, with straight-sided verticals and clipped corners that create a faceted silhouette. Many glyphs show subtle tapering, notches, and wedge-like terminals that break strict geometry and add a cut, constructed feel. Spacing and widths vary by character, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm while maintaining a consistent, upright stance and dense color in text.
Best suited for display settings where strong shape and high impact are needed—posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and sign-like applications. It can work as a short-text accent face in layouts, but its tight counters and dense weight make it less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor. Its sharp corners and cut-in details read as mechanical and rugged, evoking signage, packaging, or bold display lettering with a hardened edge.
Likely drawn to deliver a bold, compact voice with a constructed, cut-metal character. The consistent thickness and clipped geometry suggest an emphasis on durability and legibility from a distance while adding personality through notches and angled terminals.
Uppercase forms feel tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with simplified bowls and angular joins. Numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, designed to hold visual weight alongside caps. The design favors silhouette impact over delicate internal detail, so counters can appear tight at smaller sizes.
