A heavy, modular sans built from broad rectangular strokes with softened, rounded corners. Many forms feel constructed from squared bowls and straight-sided counters, with frequent internal cut-ins and notches that create a distinctive stencil-like rhythm. Curves are simplified into rounded rectangles, diagonals are sharp and geometric, and terminals tend to be blunt and flat. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with pronounced interior counters and occasional thin joins or slits that add a crisp, engineered contrast to the otherwise massive shapes.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage where the geometric construction and notch details can be appreciated. It works particularly well for tech-themed branding, industrial aesthetics, and attention-grabbing titles that benefit from a strong, graphic texture.
The tone is industrial and slightly retro-futuristic, evoking machinery, signage, and engineered components. Its assertive presence and constructed details give it a technical, utilitarian character that reads as bold and confident rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a constructed, modular geometry, pairing chunky forms with purposeful cutouts to create a distinctive voice. It prioritizes bold presence and a mechanical visual system that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
In text, the strong, boxy counters and repeated notch motifs create a patterned color across lines, which can be visually striking at larger sizes. Some glyphs feature distinctive internal apertures and cutouts that help differentiate shapes, while also emphasizing the font’s mechanical, fabricated feel.
