A compact, geometric sans with a strong rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely uniform, with corners softened into superellipse-like rounds that keep the shapes sturdy rather than soft. Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly set, and curves are minimized in favor of straight stems, flat terminals, and squared bowls. Proportions are tall and condensed with a steady vertical rhythm, while spacing stays controlled to maintain an even, blocky texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display work where a condensed, high-impact voice is helpful: headlines, posters, and brand marks that want a technical or industrial flavor. It can also work for packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics, where the squared counters and sturdy strokes hold up at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian, blending a retro display sensibility with a contemporary tech/industrial edge. Its modular, sign-like shapes read as purposeful and pragmatic, suggesting interfaces, labeling, and machinery rather than handwritten warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast presence through uniform heavy strokes and a rounded-rectangle geometry. Its consistent corner treatment and modular construction suggest an emphasis on cohesion across letters and numerals, aiming for a strong, contemporary-retro voice that remains clear in bold applications.
Distinctive details include the rounded-rectangular “O” and similarly squared counters in letters like D/P/R, plus angular diagonals in K/V/W/X that reinforce the constructed feel. Numerals follow the same architectural logic, with simple, upright forms and consistent corner rounding that keeps the set cohesive.
