A tightly condensed display sans with angular, faceted construction that replaces most curves with straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, producing a solid, poster-like color with minimal modulation. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, and terminals tend to be flat with frequent chamfers that create a cut-metal rhythm across the line. Proportions are tall and compact with short crossbars and tight apertures, giving the alphabet a rigid, engineered feel.
Best used for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where condensed width and strong geometry help text punch through. It can work well for packaging, labels, and event graphics that benefit from an industrial, engineered voice, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a mechanical sharpness that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its tall, compressed stance and hard corners suggest urgency and control, making it feel suited to bold statements rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width by combining uniform stroke weight with sharp planar cuts. Its faceted geometry prioritizes a distinctive, mechanical silhouette and a consistent, hard-edged texture across words.
At larger sizes the faceting becomes a defining texture, creating a stenciled, machined impression even though the forms remain continuous. The numerals and capitals maintain the same compressed geometry, supporting consistent headline setting where space is at a premium.
