A highly condensed, rectilinear sans with tall proportions and a modular, almost stencil-like construction. Strokes are mostly uniform with crisp right-angle joins, squared terminals, and minimal curvature, creating a strict vertical rhythm. Counters are narrow and often formed as slim rectangular apertures, while diagonals (as in V, W, X, and the z) stay sharp and tightly drawn. Overall spacing and letterfit appear compact, reinforcing a dense, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where condensed width is useful: posters, headlines, titling, and space-constrained branding. It can work well for signage or packaging that benefits from an industrial, geometric voice and strong vertical presence. For small text, generous size and spacing will help preserve the narrow counters and internal gaps.
The font projects a mechanical, industrial tone with a distinctly retro display flavor. Its rigid geometry and compressed forms feel efficient and engineered, lending a slightly cinematic, title-card energy. The look is assertive and graphic rather than friendly or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans built from simplified geometric parts. Its consistent verticality and squared construction suggest a goal of achieving a distinctive, engineered display style that stays legible while maximizing density.
In the samples, the narrow internal spaces and tight joins make the texture dark and continuous, especially in longer lines. The most distinctive feature is the squared-off, modular treatment of bowls and curves, which reads more constructed than drawn, with a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
