A tall, tightly packed sans with a strongly rectilinear construction and a consistent, monoline stroke. Curves are minimized into squared and chamfer-like corners, giving bowls and terminals a boxy, engineered feel. Counters are narrow and vertical, apertures are small, and the overall rhythm is compact with prominent verticals and restrained horizontals. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow, towering proportion, producing a uniform, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and large-format applications where its condensed, angular structure can deliver high impact. It also works well for signage, packaging, and branding that benefit from an industrial or retro-tech voice, while extended small-size reading may feel dense due to tight counters and compact spacing.
The tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a retro technical flavor reminiscent of stenciled signage, machinery labels, and mid-century display typography. Its compressed geometry reads confident and forceful, prioritizing impact over softness or warmth.
The font appears intended as a space-saving display sans that maximizes presence in narrow widths. Its geometric, squared construction suggests a goal of creating a mechanical, engineered look that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The design’s squared curves and tight internal spaces create a dense color on the line, especially in mixed-case settings. The distinctive, boxy forms maintain a consistent visual system across letters and figures, emphasizing verticality and sharp cornering.
