A condensed, rectilinear sans with heavy vertical emphasis and sharply squared terminals. Many forms are built from straight strokes and hard corners, with occasional tapered joins (notably in V, W, X, Y) that add a subtle mechanical dynamism. Counters are compact and often appear as small rounded-rectangle or oval cutouts inside tall stems, giving letters like A, B, D, O, P, Q a distinctive “slot” look. Crossbars and apertures are simplified and sometimes asymmetric, producing a rhythmic, modular texture across words while maintaining consistent, monolithic stroke presence.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its distinctive cutout counters and compressed rhythm can be appreciated: posters, headline typography, brand marks, and product packaging. It also works well for wayfinding or title treatments where a retro-futurist or industrial mood is desired, and where spacing can be tuned to avoid crowding in longer text.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and machine-age: sleek, engineered, and slightly theatrical. Its narrow silhouettes and cutout counters read as futuristic signage—assertive and graphic rather than conversational—bringing a retro-industrial flavor that can also lean sci-fi depending on context.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that reinterprets geometric sans conventions through a modular, deco-inspired construction. By combining tall rectangular stems with small, inset counters and occasional tapered strokes, it aims to deliver a strong, iconic silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
The figures follow the same tall, compact construction as the letters, with squared shapes and minimal interior detail, supporting strong vertical alignment in headlines. The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s geometric logic, creating a unified voice, though some characters adopt idiosyncratic constructions that increase display personality and reduce neutrality at smaller sizes.
