A heavy, monoline sans with broad proportions and firmly squared terminals. Curves are tight and somewhat flattened, giving rounds like O/C/G a slightly squarish, machined feel, while verticals and horizontals stay blunt and emphatic. Counters are compact and the joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that read like practical ink-trap/metal-stamp behavior. The overall rhythm is steady and even, with consistent stroke heft across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well where strong letterforms and consistent spacing are needed: interface labels, dashboards, code or terminal-style readouts, and informational graphics. The sturdy weight also suits packaging, bold captions, short headlines, and wayfinding where durability and clarity matter more than refinement.
The tone is functional and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, workshop signage, and technical equipment markings. Its chunky shapes and restrained detailing feel confident and rugged rather than elegant, leaning toward a pragmatic, engineered aesthetic.
Designed to deliver high-impact legibility with a disciplined, regular cadence and minimal stylistic distraction. The squared geometry, compact counters, and clarity features suggest an emphasis on practical reading in structured layouts and identification-oriented typography.
Lowercase forms remain simple and robust, with single-storey a and g and a compact, footed l that helps separation in dense settings. Numerals are equally weighty and legible, with rounded figures kept tight and a slashed zero for clarity in code-like contexts. Spacing appears systematic and regular, supporting a gridlike, structured texture in paragraphs.
