A tall, tightly condensed display sans with monoline strokes and sharply faceted terminals. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and angled joins, giving bowls and counters an octagonal, beveled feel. Stems are vertical and rigid, with consistent stroke weight and crisp corners; the overall rhythm is upright and disciplined, with compact sidebearings and a distinctly vertical texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same constructed logic, maintaining narrow proportions and planar cut-ins across the set.
Best suited to display settings where its narrow width and faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logotypes, titles, and signage. It can work for short bursts of text in branding or packaging, especially when a streamlined, engineered look is desired, but the tight, angular forms are most comfortable at larger sizes.
The tone is sleek and machine-like, evoking Deco-era signage and streamlined, engineered lettering. Its sharp planes read as modernist and architectural, with a slightly dramatic, nocturnal poster vibe that feels both vintage and futuristic.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, high-impact voice using a constructed, planar geometry. By substituting curves with facets and keeping strokes consistent, it aims for a clean, architectural aesthetic that remains legible while feeling stylized and era-referential.
The design relies on negative space and small angular notches to suggest curves, which creates a strong silhouette at larger sizes. The condensed build produces a dense vertical pattern in text, and the faceting adds sparkle without relying on stroke contrast.
