A condensed, rectilinear sans with a strongly modular construction. Strokes alternate between solid vertical stems and thinner connecting horizontals, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm inside narrow proportions. Curves are minimized into squared corners and open rectangular counters, with frequent use of inset cut-ins and small gaps that give several letters a built, segmented feel. Overall spacing reads tight and vertical, with a consistent, engineered geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where its condensed width and structured rhythm can read as a graphic texture: headlines, posters, titling, and brand marks. It can also work for signage or interface-style callouts when set at larger sizes with generous tracking to prevent the narrow forms from crowding.
The tone is technical and severe, evoking industrial labeling, sci-fi interfaces, and architectural signage. Its sharp, economical forms feel disciplined and machine-made, prioritizing structure and impact over warmth or softness.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing display voice with an engineered, modular aesthetic. Its segmented details and squared construction suggest an intent to reference technical typography while maintaining a clean sans silhouette.
The design leans on vertical emphasis and simplified bowls; several glyphs use open apertures and internal notches that keep counters legible despite the condensed width. The sample text shows a distinctive, staccato texture where thin crossbars and gaps create a patterned cadence across lines.
