A compact, tightly proportioned sans with heavy vertical emphasis and a distinctly angular construction. Strokes remain largely uniform in thickness, while corners and joins are shaped with sharp wedge cuts and flattened terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are narrow and often squared-off, giving letters a blocky, compressed rhythm; diagonals and bowls feel faceted rather than round. The overall texture is dark and insistent, with small internal openings and a slightly mechanical, cut-from-material geometry.
Best suited to short-form applications such as headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and punchy brand marks where condensed width and heavy color help maximize impact. It can also work for labels or UI headings when a mechanical, cut-metal aesthetic is desired, but its tight counters suggest more comfortable use at display sizes than in long passages.
The face projects an industrial, poster-ready attitude with a hint of vintage display eccentricity. Its rigid, carved-in look feels assertive and utilitarian, evoking signage, labeling, and bold headline typography where impact matters more than softness or neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, fabricated look. The consistent wedge-cut detailing suggests an intention to mimic carved, stamped, or industrially cut letterforms for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same angular logic, producing a consistent, purposeful cadence in text samples. Numerals follow the same faceted style, contributing to a cohesive, all-caps-signage feel even when set in mixed content.
