A heavy, monoline slab-serif with squared terminals and crisp, unbracketed joins. The letterforms are built from rectilinear strokes with softened outer corners, producing a rounded-rectangle silhouette in bowls and counters (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals). Serifs read as short, blocky extensions that keep the rhythm compact, while apertures are generally tight and the spacing feels efficient and engineered. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and geometric; lowercase follows a similarly constructed, simplified scheme with single-storey a and g and a straightforward, modular feel across the set.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage where its bold, blocky construction can read cleanly and project authority. It also works well for tech or industrial-themed graphics, labels, and UI titling when used at sizes that preserve its squared counters and compact spacing.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with an industrial, hardware-like character. Its squared geometry and dense color evoke retro technical labeling and arcade-era display typography, communicating strength, precision, and practicality rather than softness or calligraphy.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, mechanical slab-serif voice with a geometric, modular construction. It prioritizes strong silhouette, consistent stroke logic, and compact rhythm to create an assertive display face for attention-grabbing applications.
The design emphasizes consistent stroke weight and squared detailing, giving it strong presence in short bursts. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded-rect geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like texture, especially at larger sizes where the corners and slab terminals become a defining feature.
