A heavy, monolinear sans built from squared-off, rounded-rectangle forms. Corners are broadly radiused and curves resolve into flat terminals, giving counters a pill/superellipse look in letters like O, D, and P. The design favors compact apertures and tight internal spaces, with consistently thick strokes and short, sturdy joins. Several glyphs show cut-ins and notches that read as stencil-inspired construction, while overall spacing and proportions stay disciplined and geometric.
Best suited for large sizes where its heavy weight, squared geometry, and compact counters stay legible and punchy. It works well for headlines, posters, labels, and signage, and can add a rugged, industrial flavor to branding and packaging when used with ample tracking and clean layouts.
The font projects a utilitarian, engineered tone—confident, blunt, and slightly retro. Its squared geometry and stencil-like interruptions suggest machinery, labeling, and rugged signage rather than delicate or editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through rounded-rect geometry and a disciplined, mechanical rhythm. Stencil-like cut details add character and a sense of fabrication, helping the face feel industrial and purposeful while remaining broadly readable in display settings.
Uppercase forms are particularly uniform and architectural, with strong vertical emphasis and minimal modulation. Lowercase follows the same blocky logic, using simplified bowls and straight-sided stems; numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, optimized for impact over finesse.
