A condensed, monoline sans with a tall, compact build and tightly controlled sidebearings. Strokes stay mostly uniform in thickness, while corners are consistently chamfered into small facets that give curves a clipped, polygonal feel. Counters are narrow and vertical, apertures are tight, and many joins read as engineered rather than calligraphic, producing a rigid rhythm. Figures and capitals follow the same narrow, upright structure, creating a strong vertical emphasis and a slightly stencil-like, cut-metal impression without full breaks.
Best suited to display applications where a condensed footprint is helpful: posters, titles, branding marks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for labels and technical UI moments where a mechanical, engineered voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro technical flavor reminiscent of labeling, machinery plates, or architectural/engineering signage. Its crisp, faceted terminals add a mechanical sharpness that reads confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that evokes fabricated lettering through systematic chamfers and strict verticality. It prioritizes a constructed, industrial texture and space efficiency over softness or extended-text comfort.
The consistent chamfering becomes a defining texture across the alphabet, especially in rounded forms, where the faceting makes bowls and curves appear constructed from straight segments. The condensed proportions and tight counters increase density, which can make long text feel dark and busy at smaller sizes but striking when given space.
