A condensed, block-built sans with monolinear strokes and tightly controlled counters. Shapes are predominantly rectangular and angular, with frequent right-angle turns, flat terminals, and occasional stepped cut-ins that add a constructed, modular feel. Bowls and apertures stay narrow and squared-off (notably in B, D, O, P, and R), while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) remain sharp and economical, reinforcing a rigid vertical rhythm. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic, with compact forms and minimal curvature, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where strong vertical emphasis and compact width are useful, such as headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and product labels. It also works well for signage-like graphics and short UI or game titles where a hard-edged, constructed voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling and techno-era display typography. Its strict geometry and compressed proportions give it a punchy, utilitarian energy that reads as bold, no-nonsense, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within limited horizontal space, using a rigid, modular geometry to create a distinctive industrial/tech display voice. Its squared counters and flat terminals prioritize graphic consistency and punch over soft readability in long passages.
Numerals and punctuation share the same squared construction, helping headings feel consistent across alphanumerics. The condensed build and tight internal spaces create strong graphic presence, especially in all-caps lines and short phrases.
