A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced reverse slant and a tightly packed, vertical rhythm. Letterforms are built from straight, monoline strokes with squared terminals and chamfered corners, producing a faceted, cut-metal look. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many joins resolve into sharp interior angles rather than curves, keeping the texture dense and graphic. The overall silhouette favors tall proportions and sturdy stems, with minimal rounding and strong, consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used for short, punchy settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and display typography where its dense color and reverse slant can be a feature. It can also work for sports-leaning branding, industrial themes, or retro-futuristic graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the angular details remain clear.
The tone is bold and forceful, with a utilitarian, engineered feel that reads as retro-industrial and slightly aggressive. Its reverse-leaning stance adds motion and tension, giving it a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice suited to high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines condensed proportions with a reverse-italic stance and hard-edged geometry. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and a distinctive slanted rhythm to stand out in branding and poster-style applications.
The character set shown leans on geometric construction over calligraphic modulation, so the font’s personality comes primarily from its angled cuts, narrow set, and compact apertures. The sample text shows a dark, continuous typographic color with strong presence and limited delicacy, favoring impact over quiet readability.
