A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled geometry. Strokes are thick and uniform in mass, with small, consistent vertical and horizontal cut-ins that create a stencil-like segmentation through many letters. Corners are softened rather than sharp, counters are compact, and several forms show squared bowls with minimal curvature, giving the alphabet a modular, engineered rhythm. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright stance with simple terminals and an overall compressed, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for display settings where its mass and stencil-like breaks can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cover art, and bold branding. It can also work for short product names or packaging callouts where a technical, industrial voice is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, like marking paint, machinery labels, or a retro-futurist display. The repeated cut-ins add a coded, technical flavor that reads confident and slightly aggressive, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling overly harsh.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face built from rounded-rectangular primitives, using consistent stencil cuts to add identity and texture. Its goal is to deliver a strong, engineered look that remains cohesive across letters and numbers.
The internal cut patterns are a defining motif and stay visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating strong texture in lines of text. At smaller sizes those narrow breaks may visually fill in, while at larger sizes they become a distinctive graphic detail.
