A tightly condensed, all-caps-forward sans with sharply faceted geometry: curves are consistently replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal bowls and angled terminals. Strokes are uniform and sturdy with a crisp, monoline-like feel, while counters are narrow and vertical rhythm is emphasized through tall ascenders, deep joins, and compact interior spaces. The lowercase follows the same structural logic as the uppercase, with simplified, rectilinear forms and minimal modulation; punctuation and numerals match the tall, narrow silhouette for a cohesive texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where verticality and punch are assets—posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, labels, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can also work for short bursts of editorial titling or UI section headers where a technical, condensed voice is desired.
The overall tone is disciplined and mechanical, with an Art Deco and signage-like austerity that reads as assertive and engineered rather than friendly. Its faceted construction adds a cut-metal, architectural sharpness that can feel dramatic and slightly noir in display settings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent faceted construction to evoke precision and fabricated materials. Its narrow proportions and sharp terminals suggest a focus on impactful display typography with a modernized Deco/industrial sensibility.
The design’s strongest signature is its systematic corner clipping and planar segmentation, which keeps every glyph aligned to a consistent angular vocabulary. In running text the condensed spacing and narrow counters create a dense, high-contrast texture between black and white, favoring impact over airy readability.
