A condensed display sans with a tall, tightly packed stance and blocky geometry. Strokes are heavy with noticeable contrast created by sharp triangular notches and wedge-like terminals rather than smooth curves. Counters are narrow and vertical, with rounded corners used sparingly to keep the overall silhouette rigid and engineered. The rhythm is strongly vertical, and many joins and terminals feel cut or carved, producing crisp interior apertures and a distinctly faceted texture in text.
Best suited for large-size applications where impact and a compact footprint are needed, such as posters, headlines, brand marks, signage, and packaging. The condensed build helps fit long words into narrow spaces, while the cut-in detailing adds character for titles and short bursts of copy.
The tone is assertive and industrial, with a retro-technical edge that recalls signage, stenciled labeling, and bold poster titling. Its sharp notches and compact width give it a disciplined, no-nonsense voice that reads as mechanical and purposeful rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compressed width, using chiseled terminals and faceted contrast to create a distinctive, engineered texture. It prioritizes bold presence and a structured, industrial feel for display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same condensed structure and angular terminal logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-in construction, supporting strong figure visibility for headlines and graphic layouts.
