A tightly condensed, angular sans with monoline strokes and planar, chamfered corners that substitute for true curves. Counters and bowls tend toward octagonal/rectangular geometry, and terminals finish in crisp flat cuts, giving the alphabet a built, modular feel. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow proportions and sturdy stems; joins are sharp and corners are consistently clipped across caps, lowercase, and numerals for a unified, engineered silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a condensed, hard-edged voice is desired. The sturdy geometry also works for signage, labels, and packaging that benefits from an engineered, industrial look. It can serve as a supporting display face in UI or editorial contexts when used at larger sizes for clarity.
The faceted construction and condensed stance convey an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, scoreboard-like edge. It feels technical and utilitarian, projecting control and impact rather than softness or warmth. The geometry also carries a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of stenciled labeling and mid-century display lettering.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, faceted forms into a compact sans that stays impactful in limited horizontal space. By standardizing chamfered corners and flattening curves into planar segments, it aims for a consistent, machine-made aesthetic that remains legible while emphasizing a distinctive, technical identity.
In text, the repeating chamfers create a distinctive sparkle along curves, especially in rounded letters and numerals, while the narrow set keeps lines dense and compact. The design reads best when given room to breathe (tracking or larger sizes) so the sharp facets remain clear and the tight internal spaces don’t visually clog.
