A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are generally flat, producing a compact, rigid rhythm. Many joins and counters show squarish rounding and occasional wedge-like notches, giving the shapes a machined, ink-trap-like character. The overall fit is uniform and steady, with simplified forms and large, sturdy interiors that hold up well at moderate sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where robustness and uniform spacing are helpful: interface labels, data/terminal-inspired layouts, product labeling, and punchy headlines. It can also work for signage-style applications where simple, high-impact letterforms are more important than delicate detail.
The font feels functional and equipment-like, with a retro technical tone reminiscent of labeling, terminals, and industrial signage. Its mass and squared rounding read as confident and no-nonsense rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, technical sans that stays legible under tight spacing and heavy weight, using rounded-square construction and simplified details to maintain clarity and consistency.
The forms lean on superelliptical rounds (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals), while diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y are blunt and compact, reinforcing a mechanical texture. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and a straightforward, boxy construction across the set, supporting a consistent, systematic voice.
