A condensed, heavy sans with a rigid, modular construction and consistent stroke thickness. Forms are built from straight segments with frequent chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters and pointed joins in letters like V, W, and Y. Curves are minimized and implied through clipped angles, giving round shapes (O, C, G, 0) a squared-off, faceted silhouette. Spacing and rhythm feel tight and vertical, with short crossbars and compact apertures that emphasize a strong, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its condensed, angular texture can carry the layout. It can work well for posters, signage, and branding marks that want a strong, architectural feel, and for packaging or label typography where a bold, stylized voice is desirable.
The overall tone is gothic-leaning and industrial, with a sharp, engineered presence that feels stern and decorative at the same time. Its angular geometry reads as retro-display—evoking signage, title cards, and stylized lettering rather than everyday text.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice using a strictly geometric, chamfered construction. Its emphasis on straight strokes and clipped corners suggests an intention to look engineered and authoritative while remaining legible in large sizes.
The design maintains a consistent, stencil-like hardness without actual breaks, relying on notches and clipped terminals to create character. Numerals match the letterforms’ faceted logic, and punctuation appears sturdy and high-contrast against the dense letter texture.
