A tightly condensed, rectilinear display face with uniform stroke weight and square, slab-like terminals. The construction is highly geometric, favoring straight stems, right angles, and minimal curvature, producing a crisp, grid-like rhythm across words. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, and the overall spacing feels disciplined, giving lines of text a strong vertical cadence and a dark, even texture at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where strong vertical rhythm and compact width are advantages—posters, headlines, signage, packaging, labels, and editorial titling. It can also work for short UI labels or navigational elements when a condensed, high-impact voice is needed, but it is most comfortable at larger sizes.
The font reads as industrial and mechanical, with a vintage, utilitarian edge reminiscent of stamped lettering and early advertising titling. Its rigid geometry and tight proportions convey authority and seriousness, while the condensed form adds a punchy, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a rigid, squared construction and assertive slab-like finishing to create a sturdy, industrial display voice.
The capitals are especially tall and narrow, and the lowercase maintains the same angular logic, creating a cohesive, architectural feel. Numerals follow the same squared-off construction, integrating cleanly with the letterforms for cohesive headings and labeling.
