A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with squared terminals and minimal curve usage. Letterforms are constructed from rectangular counters and notched joins, giving many glyphs a cut-out, almost stenciled feel. Proportions are tall and compressed, with tight apertures, boxy bowls, and a generally rigid rhythm; diagonals appear as sharp wedges rather than smooth transitions. The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase’s angular construction, with single-storey forms and simplified geometry, and numerals follow the same blocky, modular logic.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its dense, angular construction can act as a graphic element—posters, logotypes, titles, and bold labeling. It can also work well for signage-inspired layouts and packaging that want an industrial or retro-mechanical voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage, machine labeling, and retro-futuristic graphic systems. Its chiseled angles and squared negative space read as assertive, slightly aggressive, and purpose-built rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes a constructed, modular look over conventional text readability. Its squared curves, cut-in details, and compressed stance suggest an aim to echo technical lettering and industrial-era signage while remaining clean and sans in overall structure.
Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, and several letters incorporate distinctive interior notches that increase texture at larger sizes while reducing openness in small settings. The design rewards generous tracking and strong contrast against clean backgrounds to keep the dense shapes from clogging.
