A heavy, geometric sans with squared, slab-like terminals and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many letters show distinctive notched intersections and flattened joins that create a slightly cut-out, engineered look. Counters are generally open and round, with a compact, blocky rhythm and wide proportions in key capitals (notably circular forms like O and Q). Lowercase forms are sturdy and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and simple, rectangular punctuation-like details (e.g., i/j dots appear square). Numerals are large and weighty, matching the caps’ squared-shoulder construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where its strong, blocky forms and distinctive join details can be appreciated. It also works well for signage and logo wordmarks that want a sturdy, retro-industrial impression rather than a neutral sans voice.
The overall tone feels robust and workmanlike, with a vintage signage flavor. The squared terminals and notched joins add a quirky, display-forward personality that reads as both industrial and slightly playful rather than strictly neutral.
The font appears designed as a characterful display sans: prioritizing impact, sturdy geometry, and a signature set of squared terminals and notched joins to create a memorable, engineered aesthetic.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and simplified interior shapes, which keeps it legible at larger sizes while the tight apertures and heavy joins can become dense in long text. The distinctive construction details are consistent across the set, giving the font a recognizable, branded texture.
