A tall, rectilinear display sans built from straight strokes and squared counters, with frequent open joins that create a stencil-like, segmented construction. Curves are minimized into clipped corners and narrow apertures, producing a rigid vertical rhythm and a strong columnar texture in words. Terminals are predominantly flat and abrupt, and many forms use inset gaps or side cut-ins that emphasize an engineered, modular geometry. Lowercase follows the same narrow, linear logic with simplified bowls and compact shoulders, while figures and capitals maintain the same boxed, slot-like counter shapes for consistent color.
Best suited for display settings where its narrow, architectural forms can read cleanly—posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set with generous tracking and adequate size to preserve the internal gaps and distinctive cut-ins.
The overall tone feels industrial and controlled, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, machinery labels, and constructed lettering. Its sharp, modular shapes read as precise and functional rather than friendly, leaning toward a futuristic or utilitarian mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving display voice with a constructed, modular look, prioritizing graphic impact and a machine-made aesthetic over conventional text readability.
Spacing and internal apertures are tight, so the face produces a dense texture at text sizes; it becomes clearer and more characterful as size increases. Several glyphs rely on distinctive cut-outs and open counters for differentiation, giving the alphabet a coded, schematic quality.
