A compact, vertical sans with heavy, even strokes and sharply faceted shaping where curves would normally appear. Counters and terminals are squared off with chamfered corners, creating a planar, cut-metal feel and clear, geometric rhythm. The lowercase is tall and straightforward, with simple bowls and minimal modulation, while the numerals and capitals keep tight proportions and sturdy, rectangular interiors for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage where the condensed width helps fit more characters per line. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding elements when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the faceted details.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, suggesting engineered precision rather than softness or warmth. Its angular facets and compressed stance evoke signage, equipment labeling, and high-impact display settings with a slightly retro-futurist edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using faceted geometry and blunt terminals to create a strong, industrial voice. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and consistent angular detailing for attention-grabbing, modern display work.
Round forms like O/C/G are built from straight segments and clipped corners, producing consistent facets across the set. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text read cleanly at larger sizes, while the condensed forms favor short headlines and stacked compositions.
