A condensed, monolinear sans with sharply faceted construction that turns bowls and curves into straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and squared-off, producing a crisp, engineered texture. Proportions are tall with tight counters and a compact rhythm, while key round forms (like O/C/G and the lowercases) read as polygonal outlines rather than true curves. The overall spacing and letterfit feel controlled and systematic, supporting dense setting without decorative flourish.
Best suited for display typography where its faceted detailing can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or tight titling systems when a narrow, architectural tone is desired, but the crisp facets make it more at home in larger sizes than in long text.
The faceted geometry and tall, restrained proportions evoke an Art Deco and industrial sensibility—sleek, streamlined, and slightly mechanical. Its sharp corners and planar curves give it an architectural, constructed tone that feels vintage-modern rather than soft or friendly.
This design appears intended to reinterpret a condensed grotesque through a faceted, planar lens—replacing smooth curves with straight segments to create a distinctive, streamlined voice. The consistent stroke weight and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on clarity and graphic impact over warmth or calligraphic nuance.
Several uppercase and numeral shapes rely on chamfered corners and angled joins to suggest curvature, which keeps the silhouette crisp at display sizes. The lowercase maintains the same narrow, linear logic, with compact bowls and straight-sided stems that reinforce the font’s disciplined, technical personality.
