A compact, heavy sans with squared, modular construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick with subtly varied thickness, and many joins feel notched or ink-trap–like, giving counters a carved, engineered look. Curves are largely squarish and geometric (notably in C, G, O, and S), while verticals stay firm and straight; diagonals are used sparingly and read as sturdy rather than sharp. The lowercase maintains a high, prominent x-height with simple, single-storey forms and tight apertures that keep the overall texture dense and punchy.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings where its dense, sculpted forms can read as a deliberate style choice. It works well for branding systems that want an engineered or retro-tech flavor, as well as sports graphics, packaging titles, and impactful signage. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and purposeful, blending a retro display sensibility with a utilitarian, tech-forward edge. Its blocky rhythm and squared curves evoke classic arcade/sci‑fi lettering and industrial labeling, reading confident and slightly futuristic rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that fuses geometric, squared curves with purposeful cut-ins to create a distinctive, industrial silhouette. It prioritizes bold presence and a tight, vertical rhythm, aiming for strong recognition in logos and prominent typographic statements.
Distinctive interior cut-ins and notches appear across multiple glyphs, creating a consistent “machined” signature and helping separate shapes at display sizes. Numerals match the same squared, compact logic, with closed forms that prioritize solidity over openness.
