A highly condensed sans with a rectilinear, geometric skeleton and open, squared counters. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with corners kept crisp and right-angled; curves are largely replaced by flattened arcs and boxy turns. Proportions are tall with long ascenders/descenders, and widths vary noticeably by character, giving the line a slightly uneven, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact and simplified, with single-storey forms where applicable and a clean, narrow spacing that emphasizes verticality.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and product or event branding where a compact, vertical presence is useful. It also works for short UI titles, labels, and tech-themed packaging where a schematic, engineered voice is desired; for long text, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels technical and schematic, like lettering from instrumentation, architectural diagrams, or early digital interfaces. Its narrow, wireframe construction reads cool and controlled, with a subtle retro-futurist vibe that favors precision over warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, modernist sans voice with a deliberately constructed, boxy geometry. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke logic suggest an intention to evoke technical drafting and digital-era signage while staying minimal and system-like.
Distinctive straight-sided bowls and squared terminals create strong texture at display sizes, while the very thin strokes and tight interior spaces make small sizes more demanding. The design’s reliance on right angles gives it a modular, constructed feel that pairs well with grid-based layouts and minimal graphic systems.
