A tall, condensed display sans with monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear construction. Forms are built from narrow verticals and blunt horizontal terminals, with occasional diagonal cuts that create a subtly irregular, hand-made rhythm. Counters are compact and often squarish, and many letters use open apertures and simplified joins, producing a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. The overall texture is dense and dark, with tight internal spaces and a crisp, graphic edge.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where condensed width and strong silhouette help conserve space while staying attention-grabbing. It also works well for signage-style graphics or short editorial callouts, but extended passages will benefit from larger sizes and looser spacing.
The font projects an industrial, poster-like attitude with a quirky, slightly off-kilter energy. Its rigid geometry feels utilitarian and urban, while the uneven angles and varied cuts add personality that reads as retro and handmade rather than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact display face that maximizes vertical presence and graphic punch. Its stylized cuts and simplified geometry suggest a goal of adding handcrafted character to an otherwise utilitarian, condensed sans structure.
The narrow proportions and compact counters make it most effective when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing. Numerals and capitals match the same tall, blocky logic, creating a consistent, sign-like voice across the set.
