A tall, tightly condensed sans with a rigid, angular construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Vertical stems dominate, with squared terminals and frequent chamfered corners that create a crisp, cut-metal feel. Curves are minimized and often rendered as faceted or rectangular turns, producing a modular rhythm and a strong vertical texture. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, and the overall spacing reads compact and disciplined.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and compact titling where a dense vertical rhythm is desirable. It can also work for signage, packaging, and labels that benefit from an industrial, precision-built look, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is stark and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, early modernist display lettering, and techno-leaning poster aesthetics. Its sharp corners and compressed proportions give it an urgent, no-nonsense voice that feels engineered rather than handwritten or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, engineered silhouette. Its faceted turns and squared terminals suggest a deliberate, modular construction aimed at creating a distinctive, retro-industrial voice for titling and branding.
Distinctive notches and angled joins appear throughout, adding a slightly gothic, architectural flavor without traditional serifs. The narrow apertures and compressed width make it most impactful at larger sizes where its cut corners and internal shapes stay clear.
