A heavy, monolinear sans with a compact, engineered feel and consistent cell-like spacing. Strokes are thick and steady, with broadly rounded corners and circular counters that keep the shapes from feeling harsh despite the weight. Curves are simplified and slightly squared-off, while straight strokes terminate cleanly for a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Lowercase forms are straightforward and robust, with a single-storey a and g and a strong, even texture across words and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and uniform alignment matter, such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, equipment markings, and interface elements that benefit from fixed-width alignment. It can also work for short blocks of text or callouts when set with ample size and leading.
The font reads as tough, practical, and workmanlike, evoking labeling, machinery, and no-nonsense signage. Its dense color and regular spacing give it a disciplined, technical tone with a mild retro industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, high-ink, fixed-width voice with simplified geometry and consistent spacing, prioritizing clarity, alignment, and bold presence over delicate detailing.
Because the letters share the same advance width, the face produces a pronounced vertical grid and an even cadence across lines. The bold weight creates strong presence but also reduces interior space in smaller counters, so it benefits from generous size or breathing room in layouts.
