A compact, condensed display sans built from tall rectangular stems with sharp terminals and controlled internal cut-ins. Counters are narrow and often formed by small vertical apertures, creating a slit-like, semi-stencil effect through many letters. Curves are minimal and tend to be squared-off or tightly radiused, while diagonals appear sparingly and read as clipped wedges rather than flowing strokes. The overall rhythm is highly vertical and architectural, with consistent, rigid proportions that favor impact over softness.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as posters, headlines, title cards, packaging, and logo/wordmark work where its vertical, cut-out construction can be appreciated. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial or UI contexts when used sparingly and at generous sizes.
The font communicates a strong, utilitarian tone—evoking industrial labeling, machine-era graphics, and assertive headline typography. Its tight apertures and carved-in details add a slightly secretive, technical edge that feels at home in retro-futurist or dystopian aesthetics.
The design appears intended to maximize punch and vertical presence while introducing a signature carved/stencil-like detail that differentiates it from standard condensed grotesques. Its modular, machine-cut feel suggests a focus on bold display communication rather than extended reading.
In text, the dense black mass and narrow internal openings create an aggressive texture that holds together best at larger sizes. The distinctive internal notches and slit counters provide character but can reduce clarity in smaller settings, especially in tightly set lines.
