A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry and tight interior counters. Strokes are predominantly vertical and monolinear in feel, with selective thinning at joins and notches that create an ink-trap-like, cut-out appearance. Corners are generally softened rather than sharp, while terminals often end flat, producing a strong, mechanical silhouette. Proportions skew tall with compact bowls and apertures; lowercase forms are simple and upright with single-storey a and g and a short-armed t. Numerals are equally stout and squared, matching the alphabet’s compact rhythm.
Best suited to bold display work such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding where impact and a compact, industrial texture are desired. It can work for short callouts or labels, but the tight counters and heavy joins favor larger sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, athletic lettering, and stamped or stenciled graphics. Its dense color and clipped details give it a rugged, engineered confidence that reads loud and purposeful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through compact, rounded-rectangular forms, while using strategic cut-ins at joins to keep shapes from clogging and to add a distinctive, engineered character.
The face maintains a consistent rectangular rhythm across capitals and numerals, with distinctive internal cut-ins that help differentiate similar shapes at display sizes. Tight counters and narrow openings suggest it performs best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
