A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and compact spacing, built from clean verticals and gently rounded curves. The letterforms are defined by sharp, cut-out voids that carve into the strokes, creating a distinctive hollow/inverted impression where counters and terminals read as deliberate notches. Uppercase is narrow and upright with uniform stroke weight; lowercase follows the same logic with a tall x-height and simplified joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same straight-sided, carved aesthetic, producing a crisp, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where its carved interior details can remain visible. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from an industrial or technical voice and a compact footprint.
The overall tone feels industrial and mechanical, like lettering cut from metal or printed through a stencil. Its tight rhythm and engineered cutouts give it a utilitarian, sign-system character with a slightly retro, technical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display sans with an engineered, cutout construction that adds visual interest without relying on serifs or heavy modulation. The carved interiors function as a signature motif, helping the typeface stand out in high-impact, space-constrained settings.
The cut-in terminals and partially opened counters create strong internal texture and a flicker-like rhythm in text, especially where repeated verticals stack closely. Because the interior carving is a primary identifying feature, the face reads most clearly when set large or with generous tracking.
