A tall, tightly proportioned sans with rigid, rectilinear construction and squared terminals. Strokes are mostly straight and uniform, with occasional sharp joins and narrow internal counters that emphasize a vertical rhythm. Curves are minimized and often rendered as faceted, elongated bowls, giving letters a geometric, built-from-bars feel. Overall spacing and widths vary by character but maintain a consistent, compressed texture that reads as compact and sign-like.
Works best for headlines, posters, logotypes, and short display settings where a dense, vertical texture is desirable. It can also suit signage, packaging, and editorial titling that benefits from a compact footprint and a rigid, industrial presence.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stenciled labeling and architectural lettering. Its narrow, high-impact forms create a commanding, no-nonsense voice suited to bold headlines and attention-grabbing display lines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using simplified geometric shapes and squared terminals to project a constructed, utilitarian aesthetic. Its consistent vertical emphasis suggests an intention toward display readability and a distinctive, architectural voice rather than long-form comfort.
The design leans heavily on verticals and right angles, producing strong repetition in text and a distinctly mechanical cadence. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared logic, matching the uppercase for a cohesive, poster-ready look.
