A tall, tightly set sans with rigid, rectilinear construction and consistently even stroke thickness. Curves are largely avoided in favor of squared counters and crisp 90° corners, producing a modular, almost assembled look. Terminals are flat and abrupt, with occasional notched or cut-in joins that suggest a lightly stencil-like build. Proportions are narrow and vertical, with compact bowls and sharply defined apertures; numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, architectural logic for a cohesive texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, logotypes, game/tech UI titling, and bold labeling or signage. It can also work for short blocks of text when a mechanical, condensed voice is desired and generous tracking is available.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of signage, machinery labeling, and early digital display aesthetics. Its strict geometry reads disciplined and functional, leaning more “engineered” than “friendly.”
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans built from simple geometric modules, prioritizing a strong vertical silhouette and a distinctively technical personality. The squared forms and notched details suggest an aim toward futuristic or industrial branding rather than neutral body copy.
In text, the narrow rhythm creates dense, columnar word shapes and a strong vertical emphasis. The design’s squared counters and occasional cut corners add character at larger sizes, while small sizes may feel tight due to the compressed interior spaces.
