A compact, heavy, all-caps-forward sans with tightly enclosed counters and strong vertical emphasis. Letterforms are built from squared, faceted strokes with frequent diagonal chamfers, producing a cut, mechanical silhouette rather than smooth curves. The texture is dense and dark, with minimal internal whitespace and a slightly irregular, constructed rhythm across widths. Lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase structure, yielding a uniform, poster-style color in text.
Best suited to display settings where dense black shape and strong vertical rhythm are assets: posters, headlines, logos, and impactful branding. It can also work for packaging, event graphics, and sports or industrial-themed identities where a rugged, constructed sans look helps command attention.
The overall tone is forceful and industrial, with a blunt, engineered attitude reminiscent of signage, machinery labels, and hard-edged retro display typography. Its angular cuts add a rugged, confrontational energy that reads bold and utilitarian rather than friendly or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using squared geometry and chamfered cuts to create a distinctive, mechanically constructed voice. By keeping the lowercase close to the uppercase model, it prioritizes uniform display presence and a bold, signage-like feel over traditional text readability.
The compact apertures and small counters become a defining feature at smaller sizes, while the chamfered corners and wedge-like joins stand out as size increases. Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, compressed architecture, supporting a consistent, attention-grabbing headline texture.
