A monoline, boxy sans with squared proportions and rounded interior corners, built from straight stems and broad curves that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms sit in a tight rectangular footprint with a tall x-height and compact apertures, while subtle cut-ins and notches at joins create a stencil/ink-trap feel. Counters are prominent and geometric (notably in O, 8, 9), and the overall drawing favors simplified, engineered curves over calligraphic modulation, producing a crisp, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where the bold, carved construction stays legible and distinctive. It can also work for logos and packaging that want a technical or industrial edge, especially when set large to showcase the internal cut-outs and geometric counters.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone with a retro technical flavor—like labeling on equipment, transit systems, or modular signage. Its cut-out details add a slightly synthetic, engineered personality, balancing friendliness from rounded corners with a firm, mechanical rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a practical, engineered construction—using cut-outs and squared geometry to keep forms open and recognizable while adding a distinctive inverted, stencil-like character for display typography.
Spacing appears consistent and functional, with a slightly condensed impression inside each glyph’s box and strong figure presence in the numerals. The design’s interior carving and corner rounding help prevent clogging while maintaining a bold, poster-ready texture in text blocks.
