A compact, heavy sans with strongly rectilinear construction and squared terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and largely monolinear, with frequent right angles, notched joints, and flat cuts that create a crisp, machined silhouette. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and 8) are tightened into boxy arcs rather than smooth rounds. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, with deliberate, modular-looking forms and slightly idiosyncratic details in letters like G, J, Q, and the single-storey a and g.
Best suited to display settings where its blocky geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a rugged, industrial voice is desired, but extended body text may feel dense due to the compact, squared forms.
The tone is utilitarian and engineered, evoking industrial labeling, vintage signage, and early digital or arcade-era display typography. Its squared geometry reads confident and functional, with a mildly futuristic edge that still feels retro rather than sleek.
Likely intended to provide a distinctive, squared-off sans alternative for bold display typography—prioritizing impact, crisp edges, and a modular, constructed feel over neutrality or softness.
The design relies on flat joins and stepped transitions, which produces strong texture in words and pronounced corners at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with especially angular bowls and sturdy horizontal bars that keep figures visually consistent with the uppercase.
