A tall, tightly set sans with sharp planar facets that replace curves, giving counters and terminals a clipped, polygonal look. Strokes are heavy and even, with an overall blocky construction and compact apertures that stay clear at display sizes. The uppercase is rigid and architectural, while the lowercase follows the same rectilinear logic with simplified bowls and brisk, cut-off terminals. Numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, reinforcing a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It also fits industrial or tech-forward branding, signage-style graphics, and apparel or sports-themed design that benefits from a sturdy, condensed voice.
The font projects an industrial, technical tone—confident, utilitarian, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its hard angles and compressed silhouette read as mechanical and no-nonsense, lending a sense of strength and precision.
The design appears intended to combine a space-saving condensed build with an angular, machined aesthetic. By replacing curves with clean facets and keeping strokes robust and consistent, it aims for high-impact display performance with a distinctive technical character.
Faceting is applied consistently across round letters (like C, O, Q, and S), creating a distinctive “chamfered” profile. The condensed proportions encourage tight headlines and stacked settings, while the uniform stroke treatment keeps the texture dense and emphatic.
