A compact, block-built sans with squared counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly heavy with abrupt, stepped transitions and narrow internal openings, giving many letters a carved, stencil-like presence. Terminals tend to be flat and squared off, while joins and inktrap-like notches introduce crisp interior angles (notably in letters such as E, F, K, R, S, and a). The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with single-storey forms and tight apertures that reinforce a dense texture in running text. Numerals echo the same rectilinear construction, with squared bowls and cut-in corners that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and signage where the bold, compact shapes can carry impact from a distance. It can also work for logo marks and packaging that want a rugged, industrial tone. For longer passages, larger sizes and added letterspacing will help maintain clarity as the tight apertures can darken quickly.
The overall tone reads industrial and utilitarian, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of machinery labeling, early 20th‑century signage, and bold editorial headlines. Its dense, hard-edged shapes convey strength and command attention, while the angular cut-ins add a technical, engineered character.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that balances rigid, rectilinear construction with angular interior cut-ins to create a technical, industrial voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a compact headline color over open, text-optimized counters.
Spacing appears intentionally compact, and the narrow counters mean the face benefits from generous tracking at smaller sizes. The variable-looking widths across capitals (e.g., wide W versus narrow I) create a punchy, uneven headline rhythm that feels intentional and energetic.
