A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and squared-off terminals that keep the silhouettes compact and highly uniform. Curves are drawn broadly and smoothly (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and cut-ins feel crisp and rectangular, giving many letters a slightly engineered look. Proportions read generously wide, with large counters and open apertures supporting clarity. The lowercase follows a straightforward, single-storey construction (a and g) with simple, sturdy stems and minimal modulation, maintaining a consistent rhythm across text.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting where a strong, even texture is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, and clear labeling. The consistent widths and sturdy shapes also make it a good fit for UI badges, dashboards, or technical readouts where alignment and uniformity are helpful.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike presence that also hints at mid-century or early-digital display typography. Its weight and uniform spacing give it a confident, emphatic voice that feels at home in technical contexts as well as bold, retro-leaning graphic treatments.
Likely designed to deliver a sturdy, highly consistent typographic color with clear, geometric forms and minimal fuss. The emphasis appears to be on uniform spacing, straightforward constructions, and strong legibility at larger sizes, with a subtle retro/industrial flavor.
Round forms remain very stable and even, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and slightly blunt at their ends, reinforcing the solid texture. Figures are similarly robust and legible, with simplified shapes and strong vertical stress that match the letterforms closely.
