A heavy, slanted sans with monospaced rhythm and broad, block-like silhouettes. Strokes are uniform and dense, with softened corners and rounded bowls that keep the texture from feeling rigid. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning, slightly off-kilter stance. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be compact, producing a dark, emphatic typographic color that holds together well in short lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and labels where a strong, industrial voice and consistent spacing are assets. It can also work for UI or data-like readouts when a monospaced feel is desired, especially at moderate to large sizes where the dense texture remains clear.
The overall tone feels mechanical and workmanlike, with a hint of retro signage and typewriter-era practicality. Its strong, angled stance adds urgency and motion, reading as assertive rather than elegant. The monospaced cadence contributes an engineered, no-nonsense personality.
The design appears intended to combine a monospaced, technical cadence with a bold, slanted display presence. It prioritizes impact and consistency of spacing, while using rounded geometry to keep the forms approachable and cohesive in blocks of text.
Round characters like O/Q and 0/8/9 read as sturdy, near-circular forms with thick interiors, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s energetic tilt. The figures are large and weighty, suited to attention-grabbing numeric strings. In longer passages, the dense weight and tight counters create a bold, poster-like texture rather than a light reading gray.
