A compact, heavy display face built from chunky, mostly monoline strokes with strongly rounded corners and squared-off counters. The forms lean geometric and modular, with broad, flattened curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) and small, carved-in notches that read like subtle ink traps or cut-ins at key joins and terminals. Uppercase proportions are wide and steady, while lowercase is simplified and robust, favoring single-storey constructions and tight apertures that keep the texture dense. Numerals match the letterforms with squared curves and deep, rounded counters, producing a consistent, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its compact, blocky shapes and distinctive notches can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, branding marks, and bold signage where high impact and a sturdy, industrial voice are desired.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor that can also feel athletic and energetic. Its sculpted corners and deliberate cut-ins give it a engineered, stamped quality—confident, a bit quirky, and unapologetically bold in presence.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with simplified, durable letterforms, combining geometric roundness with carved details to avoid blandness. It aims for a practical, display-forward texture that stays legible while projecting a rugged, engineered personality.
The design’s signature is the combination of softened geometry with small internal nicks at terminals and joins, which creates a distinctive “machined” edge without becoming spiky. Spacing appears relatively tight in text, contributing to a solid, poster-ready color at larger sizes.
