A tall, condensed sans with monolinear strokes and a strongly rectilinear construction. Curves are minimized in favor of squared bowls and sharp corners, giving many glyphs a boxy, modular feel. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, with tight apertures and compact interior space that emphasize a vertical rhythm. Terminals are blunt and straight, and the overall texture is dark and even, with slightly idiosyncratic proportions across letters that add character without breaking consistency.
Best suited for display settings where its condensed, high-impact texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, and title treatments. It can also work well for signage-inspired branding, packaging, and UI accents where a technical or industrial voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys an industrial, retro-technical tone—clean and mechanical, with a slightly dystopian or arcade-like edge. Its narrow, towering silhouettes and squared forms feel utilitarian and schematic, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, and stylized display typography rather than neutral body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing sans with a built, geometric personality. By replacing many curves with squared structure and keeping strokes visually even, it aims for a mechanical, condensed look that stands out in short phrases and titles.
Distinctive squared bowls and compressed counters make letters feel tightly engineered, producing a strong vertical cadence in words. The design’s angular treatment of traditionally round letters creates a cohesive, constructed look that reads as intentionally stylized at larger sizes.
