A tall, tightly spaced display sans with a uniform stroke and strongly condensed proportions. Strokes are straight and vertical-forward, with subtly rounded outer corners and occasional notched or bracketed transitions that give the joins a constructed, almost cut-metal feel. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented; bowls and curves are simplified into near-rectilinear shapes, especially in letters like C, D, O, and Q. The lowercase follows the same narrow, columnar rhythm, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, while numerals keep a consistent, upright geometry suited to stacked settings.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its condensed build can save horizontal space while staying visually loud—posters, headlines, wordmarks, labels, and signage. It also works well for numbered systems or emphatic callouts where the narrow figures and tight vertical rhythm reinforce a functional, industrial mood.
The overall tone feels industrial and slightly retro, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and noir-era titling. Its rigid verticality and compressed rhythm read as assertive and utilitarian, with a faint decorative edge from the carved-in notches and softened corners.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, pairing a utilitarian sans skeleton with intentionally stylized stem joints and squared curves. The goal seems to be a distinctive, sign-painting-inspired texture that stays consistent and bold across a full alphanumeric set.
Distinctive identifying details include the pinched/indented midsections on several vertical stems, a compact, looped g, and a Q with a small descending tail. The design maintains a consistent stroke weight across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a dense texture that becomes especially graphic in longer lines.
