A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with sharply faceted construction: curves are replaced by straight segments, producing chamfered corners and polygonal bowls. Strokes read largely uniform with clean, hard terminals, while counters stay compact and mostly rectangular or octagonal. The proportions are tall and tight, with narrow letterforms and restrained apertures; round letters like O/Q and figures like 0/8 become multi-sided forms. Overall spacing and rhythm feel mechanical and regular, emphasizing verticality and a crisp, cut-from-sheet look.
Best suited to display sizes where its faceted details and condensed proportions can read clearly—such as posters, headlines, logotypes, product labels, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or titling where a technical, geometric voice is desired, but is less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone is utilitarian and engineered, with a distinctly angular edge that suggests machinery, signage, and technical labeling. Its faceted silhouettes add a subtle retro-digital flavor, giving headlines an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels precise rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a sans skeleton into a chiseled, planar language—swapping smooth curves for crisp facets to create a compact, space-efficient face with strong vertical presence. It prioritizes immediacy and recognizability, aiming for a technical, industrial feel that holds up in bold, attention-getting applications.
Diagonal joins are used sparingly but decisively (notably in K, X, and the V/W forms), and many glyphs rely on small chamfers to imply curvature. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same angular logic, helping the set feel consistent in mixed-case settings, though the overall impression remains display-oriented due to the condensed, high-vertical emphasis.
