A condensed, heavy display sans with straight-sided, squared contours and subtle chamfered corners. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a strong vertical rhythm with minimal contrast and compact internal counters. Many joins and terminals are cut on angles, giving letters a punched, engineered feel; curves are tightened into rounded-rect forms rather than fully circular bowls. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s narrow proportions and uses simplified, sturdy shapes, keeping texture dense and consistent across text.
Best suited to display work where space is tight and impact is needed, such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and signage. It can also work for large-size subheads or labels where a compact, high-contrast-in-mass texture is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and industrial, with a slightly retro poster sensibility. Its sharp cuts and compressed stance read as forceful and utilitarian, evoking labeling, machinery, and bold headlines rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, using squared geometry and angled cuts to create a distinctive, mechanical voice. It prioritizes bold presence and a consistent vertical cadence for attention-grabbing typography.
The narrow set width and small counters create a dark typographic color that holds together well in short bursts. The angular terminal treatment adds character without becoming decorative, but it increases the sense of compression in longer lines.
