A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and firmly squared-off terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are generous, producing round counters inside otherwise blocky silhouettes. The rhythm reads steady and measured, with uniform character widths and deliberate spacing that reinforces a utilitarian, grid-friendly feel. Details like the sturdy crossbars, simplified joins, and a distinctly shaped zero contribute to a pragmatic, engineered look.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at large sizes where impact matters: headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and bold UI or dashboard labels. Its consistent widths and sturdy shapes also make it a good fit for technical or industrial-themed layouts, simple signage, and packaging where a strong, fast-reading voice is needed.
The overall tone feels forceful and functional, combining an industrial straightforwardness with a slightly retro, machine-like confidence. The oblique stance adds speed and urgency, giving the face an energetic, sporty edge while remaining matter-of-fact and workmanlike.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust, high-visibility sans that stays orderly and consistent while conveying motion through its slant. It prioritizes punch, repeatable spacing, and straightforward geometry over delicate detailing, making it well suited to bold, utilitarian communication.
Numerals and capitals are especially strong at display sizes, with clear, high-impact forms and generous internal space for their weight. The lowercase maintains the same robust construction, keeping counters open and shapes compact, which helps preserve legibility despite the heavy strokes and slant.
