Keywords: headlines, posters, branding, packaging, signage, industrial, futuristic, technical, retro-tech, assertive, impact, precision, compactness, modernity, angular, chamfered, geometric, architectural, mechanical.
A condensed, all-angles sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves and soften junctions through faceting rather than rounding. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with squared terminals and consistent vertical emphasis, giving the face a rigid, architectural rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular or polygonal shapes, and the overall fit feels tight and compact, prioritizing verticality and punch over openness.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that benefit from a compact, mechanical aesthetic. It also works well for labels, interfaces, and wayfinding-style graphics where a crisp, angular voice and strong presence are desired. For long passages, it will read more as a display face than a text workhorse due to its tight proportions and pronounced geometry.
This typeface projects a decisive, engineered tone with a hint of retro-tech attitude. Its angular cuts and condensed stance create a sense of urgency and precision, making the overall voice feel assertive, functional, and slightly futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact messaging in limited horizontal space while maintaining a controlled, technical look. Faceted corners and rigid construction suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, engineered personality that remains legible and consistent across letters and numerals.
The numerals share the same faceted construction, giving data and pricing a cohesive, industrial feel. The sharp interior angles and narrow apertures create a distinctive texture at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the planar cuts and architectural silhouette.
