A tall, tightly condensed sans with hard, faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped, planar corners. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, producing strong vertical emphasis and a compact rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular or octagonal shapes, and joins are squared-off, giving letters a carved, geometric feel. The lowercase is simple and narrow with short extenders, and figures are similarly condensed with angular terminals that stay consistent with the overall faceting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, condensed word shape is an advantage. It can also work for logos and labels that benefit from an angular, machined character, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted detailing remains clear.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a punchy, no-nonsense voice. Its sharp corners and compressed proportions suggest a rugged, engineered aesthetic with a subtle retro signage flavor.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, hard-edged geometric theme. The repeated clipped corners and squared terminals appear intended to evoke a cut-metal or carved-stencil look that stays bold and legible in display settings.
The faceting creates distinctive silhouettes in both caps and numerals, helping short words and headings stand out. In longer text, the narrow widths and dense texture read as intentionally compact and forceful rather than airy or neutral.
