A compact, heavy sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, giving counters and bowls a boxy, engineered feel rather than a geometric circle-based one. Terminals are blunt and mostly flat, with occasional subtle notches and interior cut-ins that read like ink-trap-inspired detailing at joins and tight corners. Proportions are sturdy and tightly fitted, with generous stroke thickness and relatively small apertures that keep the texture dense and even across text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where dense, high-impact letterforms are beneficial—headlines, posters, packaging labels, wayfinding, and interface elements. It can also work for code-like or tabular layouts where strict character alignment is desired and a strong, mechanical voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and no-nonsense interfaces. Its squared curves and solid weight add a slightly retro, industrial flavor while still reading clean and controlled.
The design appears aimed at a robust, system-like sans that stays highly uniform across characters, emphasizing square-rounded geometry and consistent rhythm for clear, forceful messaging in display and functional contexts.
Uppercase forms are particularly rigid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same square-rounded logic with compact bowls and short extenders. Numerals follow the same construction, with simple, blocky silhouettes that prioritize consistency and impact over delicacy.
