A condensed display sans built from straight strokes and planar facets, with corners clipped into small chamfers rather than rounded curves. Stems are heavy and predominantly vertical, while bowls and diagonals resolve into angular segments, giving counters a tall, slit-like feel. The overall construction is geometric and rectilinear, with tight internal space, crisp terminals, and a consistent, hard-edged rhythm that stays coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a dense, vertical silhouette can create strong presence. It can also work for signage and short subheads when you want an engineered, hard-edged look, but the tight counters and heavy texture make it less ideal for long reading sizes.
The face projects a stern, industrial tone with a slightly retro, noir-leaning edge. Its faceted geometry reads as engineered and forceful, suggesting utility signage and bold headlines rather than casual or friendly text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, faceted construction. By replacing curves with clipped planes and keeping strokes decisive, it aims to feel mechanical, bold, and instantly recognizable in display settings.
Wide letters like M and W are handled with stacked vertical elements and narrow joins, reinforcing the compressed footprint. The figures follow the same chiseled logic, keeping a uniform, poster-ready color when set in lines of text.
