A condensed, heavy display sans with crisp planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are uniform and rigid, with frequent chamfered corners and wedge-like terminals that create a cut-metal look. Counters are tight and rectangular-to-oval in feeling, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow sidebearings and a tall lowercase that keeps text looking stacked and efficient. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, engineered construction, maintaining a consistent, monoline presence across the set.
Well-suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and branding that needs a compact but forceful voice. It also fits wayfinding and signage aesthetics, and works effectively on packaging or labels where vertical emphasis and an engineered look are desired.
The design reads as industrial and assertive, evoking signage, stenciled metal, and early-to-mid 20th-century poster typography. Its angular faceting and compressed stance project a no-nonsense, mechanical tone with a strong retro flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while maintaining a consistent, machined geometry. Its faceted construction suggests an intention to blend modern display clarity with vintage industrial poster character.
In longer lines the narrow fit and tight internal space create dense texture, so the face performs best when given breathing room through generous tracking or larger sizes. The distinctive faceted joins are especially prominent in rounded letters, giving the font a signature "machined" silhouette.
