A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle shapes and squared counters. Strokes are thick and predominantly vertical, with small cut-ins and notches creating openings in bowls and joins, producing a subtly stencil-like construction. Curves are minimized in favor of superelliptical corners, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Counters run narrow and tall, spacing is tight, and many forms show distinct vertical-slot apertures (notably in B, D, O, P, R, and 0/8/9), reinforcing the rigid rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headers, product packaging, labels, and signage where its dense black shape and modular detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for tech-leaning branding and title treatments, but is likely too forceful and tight for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and industrial, with a retro technical flavor reminiscent of labeling, machinery, and arcade-era display typography. Its crisp, squared geometry reads confident and utilitarian, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, engineered geometry, using superelliptical corners and deliberate notches to create character and maintain legibility within very heavy strokes.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, boxy construction, helping text feel consistent at display sizes. The numerals match the letterforms closely, with similarly narrow interiors and strong vertical emphasis, making them suitable for prominent numeric callouts.
