A condensed display sans with tall proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Curves are largely replaced by crisp planar cuts, producing pointed joins, clipped terminals, and narrow counters across both uppercase and lowercase. Strokes are fairly consistent in thickness, with subtle contrast created more by internal faceting and taper-like cuts than by traditional modulation. The texture is tight and dense, with short crossbars and compact apertures that emphasize height over width.
Best suited to large-size applications where its angular detailing and compressed rhythm can read clearly—posters, editorial headlines, title cards, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation when set generously, but it’s most effective when used sparingly for emphasis rather than extended text.
The overall tone feels industrial and slightly gothic, mixing modern sharpness with a vintage poster sensibility. Its faceted geometry and compressed spacing create a dramatic, high-impact voice that reads as stern, mechanical, and cinematic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive geometric identity. By substituting curves with sharp facets and clipped terminals, it aims for a stylized, architectural look that remains coherent across letters and numerals.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, engineered construction, and the numerals echo the same angular logic for consistent headline setting. The narrow counters and sharp interior angles can make small sizes feel busy, but at larger sizes they become a defining stylistic feature.
