A tightly condensed, monolinear sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped, planar corners. Strokes are uniform and predominantly vertical, producing a rigid rhythm and a tall, efficient silhouette. Bowls and rounds (as in C, O, G, and 0) read as octagonal forms with squared terminals, and apertures are kept compact to preserve a dense texture. Lowercase forms follow the same geometric logic, with single-storey a and g, narrow counters, and straight-sided stems that maintain consistent spacing and strong alignment.
Best suited to display settings where a compact footprint and strong vertical emphasis are desirable, such as headlines, posters, and branding systems. It also fits industrial or technical-themed packaging and clear, punchy signage, especially where space is limited and a crisp geometric voice is needed.
The overall tone is disciplined and mechanical, with a punchy, no-nonsense presence. Its faceted geometry evokes engineered lettering and utilitarian display typography, lending an energetic, sporty edge without feeling playful.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in narrow columns while maintaining a consistent, engineered feel. Its faceted geometry suggests an intention to provide a distinctive alternative to rounded condensed sans faces, emphasizing precision and structure in prominent text.
The design’s repeated corner cuts create a recognizable pattern at both glyph and word level, helping headlines feel cohesive and structured. Numerals follow the same angular logic, giving sets of numbers a uniform, scoreboard-like consistency.
