A tightly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and squared-off terminals. Forms are built from simple geometric segments with generous, angular counters and noticeable interior cut-ins that create an inverted, hollowed impression in many glyphs. Curves (C, G, O, S) are compact and sturdy, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) emphasize a rigid vertical rhythm. Spacing is tight and the overall texture is dense, producing strong word shapes and high-impact lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where density and impact matter—posters, headlines, packaging, and label-style graphics. The compact width and strong internal cut-outs help it hold up in short lines, badges, and signage applications where quick recognition and a technical feel are desired.
The font reads as industrial and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, engineered tone. Its inverted cut-out look suggests labeling systems and technical markings, giving it a slightly retro, mechanical character while still feeling modern and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using internal cut-outs and inverted negative space to add character without sacrificing solidity. It aims for a standardized, label-ready voice that stays bold and readable while projecting an industrial, systematized identity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent condensed skeleton, with the lowercase staying robust and highly legible at display sizes. Numerals are similarly compact and bold, matching the blocky cadence of the letters and reinforcing a unified, system-like aesthetic.
