A condensed, geometric sans with squared counters and rounded-rectangle outer shapes. Strokes alternate between hefty vertical masses and much thinner connective elements, producing a distinctly contrasted, segmented construction across the alphabet. Terminals are predominantly flat and clipped, with frequent use of internal cut-ins and capsule-like apertures that give many letters a punched or stencil-like feel. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow proportions and compact bowls, while diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y are sharply drawn and mechanically consistent.
Best suited for display settings where its condensed width and contrasted construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, packaging, title cards, and bold brand marks. It also works well for tech-leaning visual identities, product naming, and short UI-style labels when set at sufficiently large sizes.
The design reads as futuristic and industrial, with a techno display flavor reminiscent of modular signage and sci‑fi interface lettering. Its stark black shapes and engineered joints create a confident, utilitarian tone that feels modern and slightly retro-digital at the same time.
The letterforms appear intended to evoke a constructed, machine-made aesthetic through squared geometry, clipped terminals, and deliberate stroke segmentation. The strong vertical emphasis and compact width suggest a design optimized for impactful titles and space-efficient, attention-grabbing typographic locks.
Distinctive internal voids and notch-like joins are a recurring motif, especially in rounded letters (B, D, O, P, Q, a, e). The thin connectors can create a delicate look at small sizes, while at larger sizes they add crisp detail and character. Numerals share the same squared, cutout construction, supporting a cohesive headline system.
