A condensed, all-sans design built from straight strokes and sharp chamfers, with curves largely replaced by planar facets and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are monolinear and evenly weighted, with squared terminals and a compact, vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms feel engineered and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a tall x-height and simplified constructions that preserve clarity in tight widths. Numerals echo the same rectilinear logic, pairing squared apertures and clipped corners for a consistent, modular texture in text.
This font suits condensed headlines, poster typography, and signage where vertical efficiency and a strong geometric presence are desired. It also works well for packaging, technical diagrams, UI labels, and display settings that benefit from a crisp, machine-made voice without relying on heavy contrast or ornament.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, suggesting engineered signage, machine labeling, and retro-futuristic interfaces. Its angular, faceted detailing adds a slightly sci-fi edge while staying pragmatic and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that reads as engineered and modern, using faceted geometry to replace traditional curves while keeping letterforms straightforward and repeatable across the set.
The face maintains a disciplined grid-like logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a steady, compact color in paragraphs. Corners and joints are treated consistently with small chamfers, reinforcing a machined, constructed feel rather than a humanist one.
