A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with rigid, rectilinear construction and sharp cornering throughout. Strokes maintain an even, heavy presence with minimal curvature; counters are mostly squared-off, producing a compact, vertical rhythm. Many terminals end in flat cuts or small wedges, and several letters use deliberate notches and chamfered joins that create a slightly “cut” or segmented feel. Numerals and punctuation follow the same geometric logic, emphasizing straight sides, tight apertures, and high contrast between black mass and interior counters.
Works best for display settings such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, labels, and signage where a compact footprint and strong graphic impact are desired. It can also support UI or title treatments for games and media, especially when used with ample tracking or at sizes that preserve the internal counters.
The overall tone is industrial and retro, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and mid-century display typography. Its angular cuts and compact fit read as firm and utilitarian, with a touch of theatrical menace that can lean toward game, poster, or genre branding.
The font appears intended as a characterful condensed display sans: a bold, space-efficient letterform with engineered, angular detailing that suggests cut metal or constructed geometry. The goal seems to be immediate impact and a distinctive silhouette rather than neutrality for long-form reading.
The design favors legibility through strong silhouettes rather than open apertures; some forms are intentionally idiosyncratic (notched joins and squared bowls) to heighten character. The condensed width and dense black shapes create a strong texture in paragraph samples, best suited to short runs and larger sizes.
