A compact, squared sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled, mostly rectilinear construction. Counters are small and often rectangular, with many joins and terminals ending in crisp, flat cuts. Select glyphs introduce wedge-like notches and pointed interior angles (notably in diagonals and V/W forms), giving the texture a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. The overall spacing reads tight and efficient, producing a dense, high-impact line color in text.
Best suited for short, punchy display settings where dense weight and angular structure can carry impact—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and bold signage. It can also work for labels or UI moments that need a compact, mechanical voice, but its tight counters and heavy color suggest using it at larger sizes for clarity.
The tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro-tech edge reminiscent of stenciled signage and hard-edged display lettering. Its angular cuts and compressed rhythm convey urgency and toughness, making it feel engineered rather than friendly.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, emphasizing squared geometry and hard terminals to create a sturdy, industrial display voice with a distinctive, engineered silhouette.
The design favors straight-sided bowls and squared shoulders, with minimal curvature and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, monolithic silhouette, while lowercase forms keep similarly compact proportions, supporting a unified, poster-like texture.
