A condensed, geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and a high, efficient x-height. Curves are frequently replaced by crisp planar segments, producing faceted bowls and squared counters, while corners are slightly softened to keep joins from feeling brittle. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with a consistent rhythm of vertical stems and compact widths that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, with open, streamlined forms that maintain the font’s narrow footprint and steady texture in text.
Well-suited for compact settings where space is limited, such as UI labels, dashboards, navigation systems, and technical documentation headings. The distinctive angular construction also works for branding, packaging, and poster headlines that want a modern, engineered voice without excessive decoration.
The overall tone feels futuristic and technical, with a utilitarian, schematic flavor that suggests instrumentation and engineered objects. Its faceted construction adds a subtle sci‑fi edge, while the rounded joins keep it approachable instead of aggressive.
The design appears intended to modernize a condensed grotesque structure by substituting curves with controlled facets, yielding a clean, techno-leaning identity. It prioritizes economy of width and consistent texture, aiming for a crisp, contemporary look that remains readable in short blocks of text.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions create tight word shapes and strong vertical cadence, making the face feel efficient and space-conscious. The faceted geometry is most noticeable in rounded letters, where the segmented construction provides a distinctive signature without relying on ornament.
