A condensed, monoline display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned with a strong vertical emphasis, while counters and bowls read as squared or octagonal shapes. Strokes maintain even thickness throughout, terminals are clean and flat, and the overall rhythm feels regular and mechanical. Lowercase forms follow the same angular construction, and numerals echo the narrow, stacked geometry for a consistent, sign-like texture in text.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a condensed footprint and strong geometry help text stand out. It also fits signage and packaging applications that benefit from an industrial, label-like aesthetic and a consistent, hard-edged rhythm.
The faceted construction and rigid proportions convey an industrial, engineered tone with a hint of retro signage. Its sharp corners and narrow stance create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels utilitarian and slightly dramatic, well suited to bold statements and structured layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a machined, faceted look—prioritizing striking silhouettes and a coherent angular system over traditional curves for a distinctly graphic, modern-industrial feel.
The design favors straight-sided counters and abbreviated curves, producing clear silhouettes at larger sizes and a distinctive vertical cadence in lines of text. The tight width and sharp joins create a dense texture, especially in word-heavy settings, which amplifies its display character.
