A tall, condensed sans with a rigid, rectilinear construction and consistently heavy strokes. Forms are built from straight segments with sharp corners and minimal curvature, producing squared bowls and boxy counters (notably in O, D, P, and 0). Terminals are mostly flat and chopped, with occasional notched joins and wedge-like diagonals that add a technical, cut-metal feel. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic, with compact apertures and simplified details (single-storey a, narrow e, and a straight, minimal t). Numerals are similarly blocky and high-contrast in silhouette, optimized for strong presence and quick recognition.
Best suited to display typography where impact and compact width matter: headlines, posters, titles, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also fits branding contexts that benefit from an industrial or retro-tech voice, such as packaging, esports or sports marks, and UI banners where strong letterforms must hold up at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, evoking stenciled labeling, machinery markings, and late-20th-century digital or arcade aesthetics. Its narrow, towering rhythm reads energetic and urgent, with a disciplined, engineered character that feels more technical than friendly.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in a tight horizontal footprint, using squared geometry and simplified details to create a rugged, machine-made impression. Its construction suggests an emphasis on bold legibility and a distinctive, technical texture rather than neutral body-text reading.
The design favors crisp silhouettes over softness: tight curves, squared interior spaces, and angular diagonals create a distinctly modular texture in text. Spacing and shapes keep a steady vertical cadence, making the face especially striking in uppercase and headline settings.
