A heavy, block-based sans with squared proportions softened by broad curves and rounded terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, even color across lines. Counters are relatively tight, and many forms (like C, G, and S) rely on chunky circular geometry that stays open and readable at display sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a single-storey a and g, broad shoulders on n/m, and a short, firm t; punctuation and figures match the same dense, emphatic construction.
Best used where impact and clarity matter more than delicacy: headlines, posters, large UI callouts, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for branding that wants a sturdy, practical voice, and for data-heavy display elements like big numerals or short technical strings.
The overall tone feels pragmatic and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial edge. Its blunt shapes and dense spacing give it a no-nonsense voice, while the rounded curves keep it approachable rather than aggressive. The result suggests signage and equipment labeling as much as bold editorial headlines.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with simple, geometric construction and consistent stroke weight. The forms prioritize straightforward recognition and strong typographic color, aiming for dependable readability in bold, attention-forward settings.
The combination of tight counters and heavy strokes creates a strong poster-like presence, but can feel crowded in long text at smaller sizes. The figures are weighty and attention-grabbing, suited to numerical emphasis and labeling.
