A heavy, monoline display face built from squarish bowls and straight stems, finished with chunky slab-like terminals that read as softly rounded. Corners are consistently eased, giving the geometry a cushioned feel while keeping a rigid, engineered backbone. Counters are fairly tight and rectangular, with a compact rhythm and clear, blocky silhouettes; the lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) that reinforce the constructed, modular look. Figures are broad and sturdy, with simplified interior shapes and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where its stout shapes and rounded slabs can read confidently. It also works well for packaging and brand marks that want a tough, manufactured feel without looking sharp-edged or aggressive.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro, like labeling on machinery or mid-century signage, but the rounded terminal treatment keeps it friendly rather than severe. It balances mechanical precision with a slightly toy-like charm, suggesting durability, practicality, and a touch of nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engineered display look—combining slab-like terminal weight with rounded finishing to remain approachable. Its consistent stroke weight and squared construction prioritize impact, recognizability, and a coherent texture in short to medium text settings.
Letterforms lean toward squared curves and shallow joins, creating a consistent ‘stamped’ texture across lines of text. The heavy terminals and tight apertures can make longer passages feel dense, but they contribute strongly to the font’s distinctive voice at display sizes.
