A condensed, heavy monoline sans with rigid, rectilinear construction and squared counters. Strokes terminate in blunt, flat ends, with occasional stepped notches that give the outlines a machined, modular feel. The alphabet is predominantly vertical and compact, with tight internal spaces and an elevated x-height that keeps lowercase forms tall and assertive. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and right angles, producing a crisp, stencil-like rhythm without actual cut breaks.
Best suited to display settings where density and impact matter: headlines, posters, bold packaging, and strong typographic lockups. It can work for short passages at larger sizes when a compact, industrial voice is desired, but the tight counters suggest avoiding small-size body text.
The tone is forceful and industrial, evoking utilitarian labeling and mid-century display lettering. Its strict geometry and compressed width create an urgent, commanding voice that reads as functional, tough, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact footprint, using geometric, squared forms and stepped details to create a rugged, mechanical personality for attention-driven display typography.
Distinctive stepped detailing appears in several joins and terminals, adding texture while maintaining a consistent, squared silhouette. Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, with boxy shapes and small apertures that emphasize density and impact in lines of text.
