A heavy, monolinear sans with broad proportions and consistently wide letterforms. Strokes are straight and sturdy with large internal counters and gently rounded curve joins, giving the shapes a softened, geometric feel rather than sharp mechanical precision. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are near-circular and uniform in weight, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, producing an even, regular texture. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g with compact bowls and straightforward terminals, maintaining a simple, modular rhythm across text.
Well-suited to high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong shapes and a consistent rhythm help text hold up at a distance. It can also work for UI labels, dashboards, and other interface contexts that benefit from uniform alignment and sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a touch of retro workstation character. Its chunky shapes and even rhythm read as dependable and technical, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The font appears designed to provide a clear, standardized voice with strong presence and predictable spacing. Its geometric, softened construction suggests an intention to balance technical regularity with approachable readability in display and short-text settings.
The design favors clarity at larger sizes with bold silhouettes, and the spacing/advance appears intentionally uniform, creating a grid-like cadence in words and lines. Figures are robust and highly legible, with simple construction and consistent width that reinforces a system-oriented look.
