A condensed, monoline display slab with sharply chamfered corners and faceted curves that read as octagonal forms. Strokes stay even in thickness, with heavy, squared-off slab serifs and flat terminals that create a rigid, built-from-plates geometry. Counters are small-to-moderate and often polygonal, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with distinctive angular joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks where its faceted slabs can be appreciated—posters, signage, product labels, and branding that wants an industrial or vintage-technical tone. It can work in larger sizes for punchy subheads or display copy, but the tight proportions and angular counters suggest using it with ample size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The font conveys a mechanical, signage-like authority with a slightly gothic and industrial flavor. Its crisp facets and hard edges feel engineered and utilitarian, suggesting durability and structure rather than softness or warmth.
Designed to translate slab-serif solidity into a geometric, chiseled construction, emphasizing compact width, strong terminals, and an engineered silhouette. The consistent monoline strokes and polygonal rounding point to an intention of high-impact display use with a distinctive industrial voice.
Uppercase forms lean on straight-sided construction, while rounded letters (like O/Q/0) become multi-sided, giving the set a consistent techno-faceted texture. The figures are similarly angular and compact, reinforcing a uniform, label-ready color in text lines.
