A tall, tightly condensed display face built from straight, rectilinear strokes with crisp, chamfer-like corners and minimal curves. The forms read largely monolinear, with hard cuts and occasional wedge-like joins that create a carved, modular feel. Counters are narrow and often squared or partially open, producing strong vertical rhythm and a pronounced, architectural silhouette. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s rigid geometry, with slender stems, compact bowls, and narrow apertures that keep the texture dense in text.
Best suited for short-form display settings where its compressed width and angular construction can create impact—posters, title treatments, packaging marks, and branding wordmarks. It can work for signage-style headings or interface labels when set large with generous tracking to prevent interior spaces from closing up.
The overall tone is stark and engineered, combining a modern industrial edge with subtle blackletter-like severity. Its sharp angles and compressed proportions evoke signage, machinery labeling, and dystopian or sci‑fi aesthetics rather than casual editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, condensed voice with a technical, hard-edged character, prioritizing silhouette and rhythm over conventional text comfort. Its modular geometry suggests an aim for a custom, emblematic look that stands out in titling and identity work.
Several glyphs emphasize straight-sided construction over classical proportions, giving the alphabet a custom, stylized logic. The numerals follow the same narrow, angular approach, with boxy shapes and clipped corners that maintain consistent rhythm alongside letters.
