A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with strongly faceted construction. Strokes are straight and uniform, with corners cut into crisp chamfers that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and terminals. Curves are largely replaced by planar segments, producing tight counters and a rigid, vertical stance. The lowercase follows the same narrow proportions and angular logic, with simple, compact forms and minimal ornament.
Best suited to short, high-contrast text such as headlines, posters, product labels, and bold branding systems where a compact footprint is useful. It also works well for signage-style applications and industrial or tech-themed graphics where sharp geometry and strong vertical rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is stern and utilitarian, evoking stamped metal, machinery labeling, and early-20th-century display lettering. Its sharp geometry and tight spacing feel assertive and controlled rather than friendly or conversational.
The design appears intended to translate a robust, engineered look into a condensed display sans by substituting curves with consistent chamfered facets. This creates a distinctive, repeatable geometry that reads like precision-cut lettering for impactful titling and labeling.
The figures and capitals are particularly monolinear and blocky, with consistent corner cuts that keep the texture even across words. The angular joins and narrow apertures can make long passages feel dense, but they help the font hold together in bold, high-impact settings.
