A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and compact, squared-off terminals. Curves are broadly rounded and simplified, giving bowls (O, C, D, 0) a sturdy, almost modular feel, while joins stay clean and abrupt. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the overall rhythm is consistent and grid-friendly, producing dense, even color in text. Details like the single-storey “a” and “g,” a short crossbar on “t,” and a straightforward, open “e” reinforce the pared-back construction.
Best suited to situations that benefit from a bold, compact voice: interface labels, dashboards, and data-adjacent layouts where uniform spacing and strong letter presence help maintain structure. It also performs well for posters and headlines that need immediate impact, as well as utilitarian signage where sturdy forms and consistent rhythm aid quick reading at a distance.
The font reads as pragmatic and industrial, with a no-nonsense presence that feels at home in technical or engineered contexts. Its dense, inky texture and simplified geometry add a confident, assertive tone without becoming decorative.
Likely intended to provide a strong, space-efficient typographic voice with a controlled, engineered feel. The simplified shapes and consistent construction suggest a focus on clarity, uniformity, and reliable visual texture across varied content.
The sample text shows strong consistency across mixed case, with clear differentiation in forms like I/J/L and a straightforward numeral set. The overall impression is of a robust, system-like workhorse designed to stay uniform and predictable across lines.
