A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and squared, modular construction. Curves are minimized in favor of rectangular counters and blunt terminals, giving many letters a boxy, engineered silhouette. Proportions are generally narrow with compact apertures, producing a dense vertical rhythm; diagonals (like in V/W/X) stay sharp and geometric. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase’s rigid structure, with simple, single‑storey shapes and minimal contrast between curved and straight segments.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks where a condensed footprint is useful. It can also work for signage-style applications and packaging that benefits from an industrial, technical voice. For longer text, generous tracking and leading help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is industrial and techno-forward, with a strong retro-futurist flavor. Its hard corners and compressed stance feel utilitarian and mechanical, projecting control and intensity rather than softness or warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow width, using a squared, modular geometry to signal a technical or industrial theme. Its simplified, monoline construction prioritizes uniformity and a strong, display-oriented silhouette over text-face softness.
The design leans on squared counters and straight-sided bowls, creating a consistent stencil-like rigidity without actual breaks. The tight interior spaces and compact apertures increase the sense of density, which reads best when given room to breathe in line spacing.
