A heavy, square-rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and corners stay softly radiused. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a sans, with thicker verticals and thinner horizontals, and terminals are predominantly flat and blunt. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are relatively closed, giving letters a dense, sturdy color. The set mixes wider and narrower characters, producing a variable rhythm across the line, while the overall geometry stays consistent and modular.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. The sturdy, geometric shapes also work well for signage and UI/label-style callouts where a firm, technical voice is desired. For paragraphs, it will perform more comfortably at larger sizes with added spacing to counter its dense internal whitespace.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels engineered rather than friendly. Its blocky forms and tight counters read as confident and utilitarian, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, and punchy headlines more than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, industrial sans voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry, combining strong presence with a controlled, engineered rhythm. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and a consistent modular construction that reads quickly at display sizes.
The uppercase shows strong, simplified silhouettes with rounded-rectangle bowls and squared-off joins, while the lowercase carries the same structural logic for continuity. Numerals are robust and compact, matching the font’s dense texture and sign-like presence. In longer text, the weight and closed forms create a dark, emphatic line that benefits from generous tracking and sizes where counters can open up.
