A heavy, high-contrast display sans built from compact, rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes are mostly vertical and horizontal with softened corners, producing a superelliptical, machined geometry rather than calligraphic curves. Counters are tight and often tall and narrow, and many letters show deliberate notches and ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins, reinforcing a sharp, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing feels compact and the texture is dense, giving lines of text a strong, uniform color.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense strokes, narrow counters, and engineered details can read clearly—headlines, posters, identity work, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, but extended text will feel dark and tightly packed.
The font reads bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that nods to vintage signage and editorial headlines. Its squared curves and compressed interior spaces create a controlled, authoritative tone—more functional and mechanical than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, manufactured look: tall, sturdy silhouettes, compressed openings, and controlled rounding that keeps forms legible while emphasizing power and presence.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic with simplified construction, while lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry for a consistent voice. Numerals are weighty and attention-grabbing, matching the alphabet’s compact proportions and squared-off rounding.
