A sturdy, monoline sans with broad proportions and a strictly even, cell-like rhythm. Strokes are thick and consistent, with rounded curves on bowls and counters that stay open and highly legible at size. Corners tend to read as slightly softened rather than razor-sharp, while terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, reinforcing a pragmatic, engineered feel. Overall spacing is regular and mechanical, producing a uniform texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and technical layouts where uniform rhythm and strong letterforms aid quick scanning. It also performs well in bold headlines, wayfinding, packaging, and editorial callouts that benefit from a clear, industrial voice.
The tone is functional and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, early digital/terminal typography, and straightforward signage. Its heavy, even color gives it an assertive presence without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, high-impact sans for systematic layouts—prioritizing consistency, regular spacing, and legibility over stylistic flourish.
Round letters like O and C appear generously wide, while forms such as S and G keep simple, geometric curves that maintain clarity. Numerals are similarly robust and plainly constructed, matching the font’s consistent stroke logic and steady cadence.
