A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are monoline and massive, with tight counters that stay open through simplified interior shaping. Many letters feature deliberate vertical cut-ins or “bridges” that interrupt bowls and stems, creating a stencil-like rhythm while keeping edges smooth and corners rounded. The overall texture is dense and even, with compact spacing and a strong vertical emphasis that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work for short subheads or labels when set with ample tracking and line spacing to prevent the interior cut-ins from visually closing up.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone—part signage, part stencil—tempered by rounded corners that keep it friendly rather than harsh. Its chunky, compact forms feel confident and poster-ready, evoking retro labeling, packaging, and engineered markings.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact width, combining rounded superellipse geometry with a recurring stencil-like interruption to create a recognizable voice. It prioritizes bold presence and pattern consistency over delicate detail, making it well suited to attention-grabbing display typography.
The cut-in detailing is a defining motif and appears consistently across rounded letters and numerals, adding distinctive patterning in text blocks. Because the counters are tight and the weight is high, the face tends to form a solid typographic “band,” which can be striking but benefits from generous size and breathing room.
