A heavy, block-built sans with broad proportions and squared counters softened by rounded corners. Strokes are largely uniform but show localized thinning and notches in tight joins, creating a slightly engineered, cut-out feel rather than a purely monoline construction. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, with compact apertures and sturdy bowls that emphasize mass and stability. The lowercase is simplified and geometric, with a single-storey a and g and a boxy, modular rhythm; numerals follow the same robust, squared style with rounded interior shapes.
Well-suited to high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and product packaging where strong presence is needed. Its industrial, blocky construction also fits sports branding, tech-themed graphics, and bold signage-style applications.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian with a retro-industrial flavor, like lettering designed for equipment, sports identity, or arcade-era graphics. Its dense forms and squared geometry feel confident and direct, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than harsh.
Likely intended as a statement display face that combines sturdy, modular construction with softened geometry for approachability. The added notches and localized thinning appear designed to maintain clarity in heavy joins while introducing a distinctive, engineered character.
The design’s tight inner spaces and engineered notches become more apparent in text, giving it a distinctive mechanical texture. Spacing appears generous enough for display settings, but the compact apertures and heavy joins suggest it will read best at larger sizes where counters don’t visually close in.
