A condensed, all-caps–friendly display sans with rigid, rectilinear construction and crisp 90° terminals. Strokes are consistently heavy and mostly monolinear, with occasional internal notches and chamfered cuts that create a subtly stencil-like, engineered feel. Curves are minimized into squared bowls and pointed joins, and counters tend toward narrow, vertical rectangles. Lowercase echoes the same geometric logic with compact apertures and sharp, abbreviated curves, while figures are tall and blocky with squared shoulders and uniform weight.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short emphatic text where its compact width and bold, angular forms can create strong presence. It also fits signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from an industrial or retro-display tone, especially in high-contrast color applications.
The overall tone feels stern and mechanical, combining a blackletter-adjacent severity with modern signage pragmatism. Its sharp cuts and compressed rhythm read as assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage poster and industrial labeling character rather than a soft, friendly voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint, using squared geometry and cut-in details to evoke an engineered, gothic-leaning display voice. Its consistent stroke weight and restrained curvature suggest a focus on bold legibility at large sizes and a distinctive, durable silhouette.
Diagonal and V-shaped forms show pronounced pointed vertices, while rounded letters like O/Q are rendered as squared ovals with tight internal space, increasing density. The sample text suggests strong headline impact but a dark texture in longer lines due to tight counters and heavy strokes.
