This typeface is a condensed, all-vertical sans with faceted, chamfered terminals that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are largely monoline with only subtle modulation, and the overall silhouette is tall and tightly proportioned, producing a compact, stacked rhythm in text. Rounds (C, O, Q, 0) are rendered as octagonal forms with flattened sides, while joins and corners are squared and consistent across the set. Counters are relatively narrow, and the short crossbars and angular apertures keep forms clean and controlled at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a condensed, high-impact texture is useful. It also fits labels, wayfinding, and bold signage applications that benefit from its engineered, faceted geometry and tight horizontal footprint.
The sharp facets and tall, compressed proportions convey a functional, no-nonsense tone with a strong industrial and athletic flavor. It reads like lettering engineered for impact—confident, disciplined, and slightly retro—evoking signage, uniforms, and equipment markings rather than casual editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate a mechanical, cut-metal aesthetic into a clean sans system, using consistent chamfers to create a distinctive identity without decorative flourishes. Its condensed proportions and sturdy shapes suggest a focus on strong display presence and efficient space usage in titles and short lines.
The numerals follow the same cut-corner logic and maintain an even, upright stance that aligns well with the capitals. In running text the narrow set width and repeated vertical strokes create a strong texture; spacing appears tuned for bold display lines where the angular detailing remains clearly legible.
