A condensed, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with a consistent line weight and minimal curvature. Bowls and counters tend toward squared forms, while diagonals appear in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y, keeping a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are clean and flat, and the overall drawing favors modular proportions: narrow widths, tall verticals, and compact apertures that maintain clarity despite the tight set. Numerals follow the same squared logic, with simple, legible constructions and uniform stroke behavior.
Well suited to space-constrained settings such as signage, wayfinding systems, product labeling, and UI elements where a condensed footprint is helpful. It can also work effectively in posters and headlines when a technical, industrial texture is desired, especially in short to medium lines of text.
The face reads as technical and utilitarian, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of labeling, instrumentation, and early digital or drafting aesthetics. Its narrow, angular silhouettes create a disciplined tone that feels precise and mechanical rather than friendly or expressive.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, high-clarity sans with a strict geometric construction, prioritizing consistency and an engineered visual logic. Its squared forms and restrained detailing suggest an intention toward functional display and system-like typography rather than organic warmth.
The design relies on strong verticals and right angles, producing a steady grid-like texture in text. Distinctive squared curves and open, simplified joins help differentiate similar forms at small sizes, while the condensed proportions amplify a compact, space-efficient feel.
