A condensed, rectilinear display sans with tall proportions and squared counters. Strokes alternate between heavy verticals and much thinner horizontal connectors, creating a crisp, poster-like contrast and a slightly engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and cut cleanly, with occasional small notches and inset joins that suggest a subtle stenciled construction. Curves are minimized into squared arches and boxy bowls, producing compact apertures and a tightly packed, vertical texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where tight width and strong vertical emphasis are beneficial. It can also work for compact wordmarks and packaging panels that need a rigid, industrial character, but the condensed spacing and sharp contrast make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone feels industrial and architectural, with a hint of Art Deco signage. Its compressed width and sharp, cut terminals give it a commanding, utilitarian voice that reads as retro-mechanical rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a squared, engineered construction and pronounced vertical emphasis to evoke vintage industrial and Deco-inspired display typography.
Capitals are especially tall and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same angular construction with simple, squared forms and compact counters. Numerals follow the same condensed geometry, with straight-sided shapes and minimal curvature, helping maintain a consistent blocky color across mixed content.
