A sturdy, geometric sans with uniform strokes and squared-off terminals. The forms lean on simple circular and rectangular geometry, with generous counters in rounded letters and broad, flat joins in diagonals. Overall proportions feel substantial and compact, with consistent rhythm and even spacing that emphasizes a structured, grid-like texture in text.
Well-suited to interfaces, signage systems, and data-forward layouts where consistent spacing and strong letterforms support scanning. It also performs well for posters, headlines, and packaging that benefit from a solid, engineered look and a dense typographic color.
The tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a contemporary industrial character. Its blunt terminals and simplified shapes read as functional and technical, lending a straightforward voice that feels engineered rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly regular reading texture with minimal stylistic variance, prioritizing consistency and immediacy. Its geometric construction and blunt finishing suggest an emphasis on clarity and repeatable shapes for structured layouts and technical communication.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g”, a sharply cut “t” with a short crossbar, and numerals that favor clear silhouettes with wide bowls and open apertures. The heavy, even color creates strong presence at display sizes while remaining orderly in blocks of copy.
