A condensed, all-caps-forward display face built from tall, rectangular proportions and crisp, straight-sided curves. Letterforms are largely monolinear in feel but rely on prominent internal cutouts and breaks that carve the strokes into white channels, producing a hollowed, inverted look where counters and joints read as negative shapes. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are squared-off and verticalized, with tight apertures and a rhythmic, column-like spacing that emphasizes height and compression. The lowercase follows the same narrow architecture with simple, upright constructions and compact bowls, keeping the overall texture rigid and uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, album art, signage, packaging callouts, and logotypes. It also works well for UI badges, labels, and other instances where a compact condensed wordmark needs to stand out through strong figure/ground contrast.
The type conveys a stark, utilitarian tone with strong signage energy—part industrial stencil, part retro display. Its high-contrast figure/ground and tight rhythm feel assertive and attention-seeking, suggesting labels, warnings, and bold headlines rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to maximize punch in minimal horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with carved-out interiors that read clearly in bold, high-contrast applications. The repeated cutout logic unifies the alphabet and creates a distinctive inverted/stenciled identity that holds together in tightly set display lines.
In continuous text the font creates a barcode-like cadence because each glyph occupies a tall, boxy footprint and the internal cutouts repeat consistently. This produces striking patterning, but also makes similar shapes (like I/l and some narrow lowercase) feel closely related at small sizes.
