A compact, angular sans with heavy, uniform strokes and squared-off terminals. The forms are built from straight segments with minimal curvature, producing a chiseled, rectilinear silhouette and tight internal counters. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall ascenders and narrow bowls; uppercase and lowercase share a rigid, modular construction that keeps rhythm consistent. Details like the squared apertures and stepped joins emphasize a mechanically drawn, display-oriented structure.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and short bursts of copy where its angular construction can read as a design feature. It also fits interface titles, game or sci‑fi themed graphics, and signage-style applications that benefit from compact width and strong presence. For long text, larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve clarity in the tight counters.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a retro-digital edge. Its rigid geometry and dense color give it an assertive, utilitarian voice suited to strong, directive messaging rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a deliberately mechanical, modular construction. Its squared geometry and dense weight suggest an emphasis on bold display performance and a distinctive techno-industrial character.
The lowercase is highly stylized and in places approaches small-cap proportions, reinforcing a uniform texture in text. Numerals follow the same squared, engineered logic, reading best when given space and size so the tight counters remain clear.
