A condensed, monolinear sans with a strongly vertical stance and tall proportions. Forms are built from straight strokes and tight curves, with crisp, squared terminals and frequent notch-like joints that create an engineered, cut-out feel. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall rhythm is tightly packed with minimal modulation, giving lines of text a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where height and compression help fit long titles into narrow spaces. It also works well for packaging, signage, and labels that benefit from an industrial, condensed look and strong silhouette presence.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a retro display edge. Its rigid geometry and compressed spacing read as forceful and utilitarian, evoking labeling, machinery, and vintage headline styles rather than casual or friendly communication.
The design appears intended as a high-impact condensed display sans, emphasizing verticality, geometric construction, and a stamped/engineered texture to stand out in short phrases and titling.
Distinctive constructed details—such as inset corners, clipped shoulders, and narrow apertures—add character at large sizes but can make small-size reading feel busy. The numerals and uppercase share the same tall, compact proportions, helping maintain a consistent vertical cadence across mixed content.
