A condensed, hard-edged sans with chamfered corners and planar, faceted joins that stand in for true curves. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a crisp, graphic texture, while counters and apertures feel squared-off and tightly controlled. The drawing emphasizes verticality with tall proportions and compact widths, and many glyphs show clipped terminals and angled shoulders that create a consistent, chiseled rhythm across text. Numerals and capitals echo the same octagonal/diamond-like rounding, reinforcing a modular, constructed look.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and wordmarks where its angular construction can be read clearly. It also fits wayfinding and signage-style applications, as well as packaging or editorial callouts that benefit from a compact, vertical footprint.
The overall tone is industrial and architectural, with a disciplined, engineered feel that reads as assertive and utilitarian. Its sharp geometry and condensed stance suggest signage, machinery labeling, or techno-forward branding rather than casual or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display voice built from straight segments and chamfered corners, translating rounded letterforms into a consistent faceted system. The goal is a strong, modern, industrial character with high visual uniformity across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The faceting is especially noticeable in rounded forms, which resolve into multi-sided shapes, giving the type a stamped or cut-from-sheet-material impression. In running text, the narrow set and tight internal spaces produce a dense, high-impact line that favors display sizes.
